Choppy Animation in FireFox

I'm using firefox to create the line animation in the video, but instead of displaying as a smooth sequence of a line being drawn, it starts out drawing a small portion of the path, pauses, then a huge chunk appears, pauses again, then the rest of the path appears and then fills. How do you get around this in firefox?

Here's my code

/* -------------------------- Keyframes --------------------------- */

@keyframes offset { 100% { stroke-dashoffset: 0; } }

@keyframes fill-it { 100% { fill: #6fbc6d; } }

/* -------------------------- SVG Styles --------------------------- */

svg { display: block; margin: 2em auto 0; width: 40%; }

.logo { stroke: #6fbc6d; stroke-width: 2; stroke-dasharray: 810; stroke-dashoffset: 810; animation: offset 5s linear forwards, fill-it .8s 5s forwards; }

does it have something to do with the fact you're using dashes ?

forgive me its hard to tell from the code alone.
