How do I best detect an ASP.NET expired session?

I need to detect when a session has expired in my Visuial Basic web application. This is what I'm using...

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

If CurrentSession.IsNew AndAlso (Not Page.Request.Headers("Cookie") Is Nothing) AndAlso (Page.Request.Headers("Cookie").IndexOf("ASP.NET_SessionId") >= 0) Then
Response.Redirect("TimeOut.aspx")
End If

...do something...

End Sub

Note: CurrentSession.IsNew returns HttpContext.Current.Session.IsNewSession

This seems to work well for Internet Explorer, but seems to fail with Firefox.
