okay, another Firefox question

[Syrinx]

I'm using Firefox under Linux. I love it. But there's just one little quirk I can't figure out. Animated gif's don't animate.

I've got image.animation_mode set to "normal." Anyone know what might be wrong?

1. Does it happen to all animated gifs, or are there some that do animate?

2. seems to be all of them

For example, here at DU, the flashing "new messages" doesn't show up, and the "hot" icon doesn't flame.

3. wfm (Debian, firefox 1.0-2). Hmmm.

Could you have made a typo when you set the preference? Did you set it from about:config?

I've seen reports of some issues with animations related to caching. If bypassing or clearing your cache makes a difference, then you've stumbled upon one of those.

Sounds like a case for bugzilla. Sorry. :(

4. I cleared my cache

And now everything seems back to normal. I don't know why I didn't think of that. Thanks for the help!
