Anyone who knows me knows that I am a rather solid Mozilla/Firefox fan. I have Chromium installed for verification that things work with my web development, but that's all I use it for. I much prefer Firefox. It was only when I read the comments that had been made here that I remembered that Firefox had removed <blink> support and checked it in Chrome to see what had been intended.

I did not actually check at that point that it had used <blink> but assumed. This was an error.

As it happens, I run Nightly and for whatever reason the animation is not functioning there. I presume it's faulty browser detection on their part or the lack of a prefix-free version or some such thing.

Good to hear.

Sorry for being a dick; it just seemed like you were trying to make an anti-FF statement based on prior knowledge and nothing else, glad to hear it was just their nightly build not functioning properly.

For what it's worth, I prefer FF as a company, but I like Chrome for syncing tabs and the developer tools.

CSS animations work fine in Nightly. I'll say with certainty 0.95 that it'll be Google's fault.

As a corollary, the AdWords management interface detects Nightly as an old browser rather than a very new browser.

Thinking about it I agree it does seem infinitely more likely to be something on Google's end.
