Description

Any idea why the following would not work in Firefox, but would in every other browser. Having a tough time determining if it's filereader-stream or hyperquest

var hyperquest = require('hyperquest');
var createReadStream = require('filereader-stream');

createReadStream(file).pipe(hyperquest('http://someserver.com'))

Research direction

Start by reproducing the shown filereader-stream and hyperquest pipeline in Firefox, then compare each component's behavior with other browsers. The issue does not identify a source file or test; done would be identifying which component causes the Firefox failure and documenting or correcting the incompatibility.
