Google's Zipper doodle is not working with Firefox

Google did not forget the tradition of doodling, these are generally cartoons drawn and published on the homepage of Google. These doodles are generally drawings based on some important occasions, birthdays of various legendary persons or some important dates. The particular doodle is published on the site of a particular country's Google homepage (e.g. Google Published the doodle of Indian independence on 15th Aug)  to which the doodle is associated.
Today Google published the doodle of the zipper while celebrating the 132nd birthday of its inventor Mr.Gideon Sundback. Zipper is used in our pantaloons, which makes it a very important tool, its importance can be felt when it goes wrong.

This time Google published an animation on their Indian homepage. This big interactive zipper opens to Google search result with result related to the Zipper inventor, while taking the mouse pointer on the animated zipper on the Google homepage.

This animation is working fine with most of the popular browsers like Chrome, Explorer, even Safari but not Mozilla's Firefox. The news publishers and various bloggers even I also think that Google want to suppress success of the open source Firefox. Google has been using it's advertising platform to promote it's open source browser Chrome. This may be a strategy developed by Google to kill it's compitator or else it may be a technological fault. The second one is just an assumption by me because technological fault is just a joke for a company armed with engineers like Mr.Page.
