In no way does Google want Firefox down. Besides basically funding Firefox by sponsoring Mozilla, Chrome's official position is simply to drive forward web technology. The Chrome team may want to make their browser better than the competition, but they also want the competition to challenge, and help improve Chrome and the web. This will simply boil down to someone not fully testing the implementation, especially since it's an extra, not a base feature. If this was an issue with Firefox stable, it would be more pronounced and worrying. |

Of course they do. One less browser to support for all their properties, one annoying group in the standardization process less that keeps clamoring for annoying things like user privacy, proper spec documentation, independent implementations or god forbid, tried to oppose DRM.
If Google wouldn't want Firefox down, they wouldn't aggressively market Chrome on the search pages that Firefox users are served.
The "sponsoring" argument is totally lame. Google pays hard cash to shove their search machine down Firefox users' throat and collect the advertising dollars from it. That isn't charity.
