Request works in Chrome, fails in Firefox with "CORS request rejected" error

[misterfresh]

In Chrome the following code works.
In Firefox I get the error :
Error: CORS request rejected
With the code :

use strict';
var request =require('browser-request');
var url = 'http://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/export?id=1-on_GfmvaEcOk7HcWfKb8B6KFRv166RkLN2YmDEtDn4&exportFormat=csv';
request(url, function (error, response, body) {
    if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
        console.log('success fetch');
        console.log(response.statusCode);
        console.log(body);
    }else{
        console.log(error + ' ' + response.statusCode );
    }
});

Yes. Actually I tried with jquery ajax and had exactly the same issue. So it's not a browser-request problem. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32897921/why-does-this-cors-request-to-a-google-drive-sheet-fail-in-firefox-works-in-c
