For 2 I'd like to point you to bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=686214 (some more references inside the bug). I agree to Daniel Holbert that the behavior of Safari and Chrome is wrong. No viewport size was defined, so FF uses the default values (300x150 IIRC). You can avoid that by setting the CSS properties 'width' and 'height' to '100%' and the SVG will be scaled to full size. We will fix that in WebKit at some point.
