Cross-browser legend centering

I'm getting different results on my legend centering across browsers:

Should be like this:

Chrome

But instead I get different margins on other browsers:

Firefox

HTML

<div class="teaser-header">
<fieldset class="teaser-fieldset">
  <legend class="teaser-legend">We are a very passionate team</legend>
  <h1>Who we are</h1>
</fieldset>
</div>

CSS

.teaser-header {
    padding-top: 70px;
}
.teaser-fieldset {
  border: 1px solid white;
  color: white;
  text-align: center;
  width: 400px;
  margin: auto;
}

.teaser-fieldset h1 {
  color: white;
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
  padding-bottom: 20px;
  font-family: "Montserrat";
}

.teaser-legend {
  padding: 0 10px;
  width: 80%;
  margin-left: auto;
  margin-right: auto;
  color: white;
  font-size: 1em;
  text-transform: uppercase;
  margin-bottom: 0;
}

Any ideas? Thanks!

Setting the margin-left and margin-right explicitly as 10% seems to fix the centering issue. The 10% value is nothing but half of (100% - width).

.teaser-header {
  padding-top: 70px;
}

.teaser-fieldset {
  border: 1px solid white;
  color: white;
  text-align: center;
  width: 400px;
  margin: auto;
}

.teaser-fieldset h1 {
  color: white;
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
  padding-bottom: 20px;
  font-family: "Montserrat";
}

.teaser-legend {
  /* padding: 0 10px; remove this */
  width: 80%;
  margin-left: 10%; /* change this */
  margin-right: 10%; /* change this */
  color: white;
  font-size: 1em;
  text-transform: uppercase;
  margin-bottom: 0;
  text-align: center; /* add this */
}

body {
  background: black;
}
<div class="teaser-header">
  <fieldset class="teaser-fieldset">
    <legend class="teaser-legend">We are a very passionate team</legend>
    <h1>Who we are</h1>
  </fieldset>
</div>
