1236573 - Animated GIFs aren't played back with as many loops as defined in GIF file

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1255497

(Core :: Graphics: ImageLib, defect)

Description

[Axel]

Attachment: Can't run tasks.gif

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:42.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/42.0
Build ID: 20151029151421

Steps to reproduce:

I created an animated GIF that's supposed to repeat once (loop: 2).


Actual results:

While the GIF is played back correctly in IE, Firefox only plays it once, although the animation should be played back twice.


Expected results:

The animated GIF (see attachment) should be correctly played back twice.

I tried an old version, FF8, and the gif has only one run too. So old issue maybe.

Reproduced in Firefox, works as expected in Chrome.

Interesting argumentation in the referenced Chromium thread ... Well, yes, you could perfectly argue that way. I feel using the word "loop" has been a bad decision. "Rewind", "Replay" or similar would have been a better choice. But it's too late now to argue on that.
