Problems with CSS Flip animation in Firefox - css

Question

I try to use the CSS flip animation example of David Walsh on my website. Code in my snippet doesn't work well with the Firefox.
How to fix this code without using of javascript magic? Why it happens with the latest Firefox versions?

Answer 1

In your styles for .front you're missing the un-prefixed transform property:
.front {
-webkit-transform: rotateX(0deg);
-ms-transform: rotateX(0deg);
background-color: #00E743;
z-index: 2;
}
If you add it, it appears to work:
.front {
-webkit-transform: rotateX(0deg);
-ms-transform: rotateX(0deg);
transform: rotateX(0deg);
background-color: #00E743;
z-index: 2;
}
