Economic force is still force. The fact is, there is ZERO chance any website cuts off access to specific browsers, and thus potential customers/ad revenue, unless the financial hit of NOT doing so is greater. Firefox's market share is small, but it still exists, there's plenty of profit to be had from firefox users. Market share wise, Chrome > Firefox, sure, but Chrome + Firefox > Chrome alone.

The ONLY logical reason to cut them off would be if not doing so would cut you off from the bigger slice of pie, Google, and the ONLY reason not cutting Firefox off would result in being cut off from google is because Google chooses to do that. So yes, Google is trying to force this on them.
