Marquee not working right in firefox

Question

I am using a marquee, it's going fine in chrome, but in firefox it shows only the first div again and again. Here's the code :

<marquee direction="up" scrollamount="3">           
     <div class="eachnews">

    <a href="#"> <div class="news-date"><span class="day_news">15</span><span class="month_news">Apr</span>
     </div>
     <div class="news-descript"><h2>News Title</h2>
     <p>

     </p>
     </div></a>
     </div>


         <div class="eachnews">

    <a href="#"> <div class="news-date"><span class="day_news">16</span><span class="month_news">Jan</span>
     </div>
     <div class="news-descript"><h2>News Title</h2>

`marquee` does not belong to the HTML standard - don't use it! — Christoph, Sep 09 '13 at 13:04
Confirming - works fine for me in FF too. Trying running FF in safe mode with all extensions turned off to verify — DmitryK, Sep 09 '13 at 13:05
Start using css3 properties or javascript for marquee. Marquee tag is about to go even it has been gone. — User, Jun 28 '15 at 19:53

Marquee and Blink are not standard, and are no longer supported in many newer browsers, including versions of FF and IE. Sorry.

However you can simulate them/reimplement them using javascript, if you really must.

You should not use the marquee tag as it is not part of the standard and you can't assure support by the browsers (theoretically the vendors could drop the support anytime). Instead try a simple scripted solution like stated in this answer or by using this supersmall script I wrote:

It runs smoother in all browser that I tested (Ch,FF,IE) than the "native" marquee.
