That is a standard of ECMASCRIPT version 6 and it's called Default parameters. So it might be not available in your chrome version while FF has.

You can achieve the same by two ways: 

function abc( xyz ){ "My logic" }

var pVal = mightbe || false;
abc(pVal); //<---- now pass it here;

or: 

function abc( xyz ){ 
    // before processing anything you can do this
    var o = xyz || false; // if there is any value in the xyz then that will
                          // be assigned otherwise false will be the default value.
    "My logic" 
}

This is ES6 syntax, most browsers only support very few ES6 features, you can check from here: https://kangax.github.io/compat-table/es6/ (In your example you used default function parameters)

If you want to write ES6 syntax (which is quite appealing in many ways), you can use some code transpiling tool like babel: https://babeljs.io/
