For this defect the issues is due to cross domain access issues which are causes issues when trying to access the iframe which was created with the src of the URL provided. On firefox there is no provided alternative, Chrome and PhantomJS provide a way to over ride this. by adding the following to karma.config.js

 module.exports = function (config) {
    config.set({
        browsers: ['ChromeCustom', 'PhantomJSCustom'],
        customLaunchers: {
            ChromeCustom: {
                base: 'Chrome',
                flags: ['--disable-web-security']
            },
            PhantomJSCustom: {
                base: 'PhantomJS',
                options: {
                    settings: {
                        webSecurityEnabled: false
                    }
                }
            }
