This may help explain why some FF users are not affected.

Whisper Below are instructions on how to play game while it's present on Googles home page if desired:

-- Press INSERT COIN (insert 2 coins for 2 player Ms. Pacman version) 
-- Use ARROW Keys to manuever
-- Must blank out all dots to go to next level and avoid attackers
-- Blinking large dots allow PACMAN to temporarily devour attackers
