You can create a media selector for Firefox which will be using a different style. You will have to play around with it. For example, I reduced the blur, the spread and turned up the opacity of the last inset box-shadow. So the CSS for the .box:hover should probably look something like this:

.box:hover {
  box-shadow(0px 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.3), inset 0px 4px 2px -2px rgba(255,255,255,0.7), inset 0px -3px 1px -2px rgba(0,0,0,0.3), inset 0px -20px 200px -100px rgba(0,0,0,0.5));
}

@-moz-document url-prefix() {
.box:hover {
  box-shadow(0px 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.3), inset 0px 4px 2px -2px rgba(255,255,255,0.7), inset 0px -3px 1px -2px rgba(0,0,0,0.3), inset 0px -20px 130px -120px rgba(0,0,0,0.9));
}
}
