script invokation issue

my problem is :

i have a small script automising the firefox invokation from my $HOME/bin
directory:
**********************
set FIREFOX_PATH='/tools/openbin/firefox/2.0.0.3/sparc-sun-solaris8'

set GTK_LIB_PATH='/tools/openbin/gtk+/1.2.10/sparc-sun-solaris8/lib'

set GLIB_LIB_PATH='/tools/openbin/glib/1.2.10/sparc-sun-solaris8/lib'


setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:$FIREFOX_PATH;
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:$GTK_LIB_PATH;
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:$GLIB_LIB_PATH;

cd $FIREFOX_PATH
./firefox-bin &
cd
***********************
my question is

case:1
when i invoke the script sourcing it

source start_firefox.sh

it works
**********************
case:2

when i do from $hOME/bin

tcsh start_firefox.sh

.......it works
*******************
case:3

but when i do from $HOME/bin..here the script resides

./start_firefox.sh

error messages are coming like
*********
csbu061 [mhalder] 206: ./start_firefox.sh
./start_firefox.sh: setenv: not found
./start_firefox.sh: setenv: not found
./start_firefox.sh: setenv: not found
./start_firefox.sh: ./firefox-bin: not found
....i can understand its working while sourcing but i am confused why its working in the 2nd case while its not working in the 3 rd case

...please make me clear abt this
