Ellipsis not working well in firefox but works in chrome

I was trying to make a link restricted to a width using the ellipsis.

The html is something like this:

<a class="blueLink2 destination-url-space" style="top:0;" href="http://google.com/uyv245">http://google.com/iuh345345345gthrthrthrth</a>

and the CSS is

.blueLink2 {
    color: #0051A1;
    display: inline;
    font-size: 14px;
    margin-left: 5px;
    overflow: hidden;
    position: relative;
    text-overflow: ellipsis;
    top: 0;
}
.destination-url-space {
    display: inline-block;
    max-width: 200px;
    overflow-x: hidden;
}

But it's working only in Chrome. Not working in Firefox. Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/xE6HG/

Lorem ipsum is a pseudo-Latin text used in web design, typography, layout, and printing in place of English to emphasise design elements over content. It's also called placeholder (or filler) text. It's a convenient tool for mock-ups. It helps to outline the visual elements of a document or presentation, eg typography, font, or layout.
