149970 - Two days ago gif images stopped working

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 121084

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Fred Warnock]

I've been using mizilla since RC1, and have upgraded twice, and am now using 1.0

Everything was going fine (except live connect) until two days ago when images
that I can see normally started appearing broken, and when I view the image, I
get the following:

The image “http://www.mozilla.org/images/mozilla-banner.gif” cannot be
displayed, because it contains errors.

it happens on gifs from what I can see, and not on all, but it's at the point
now when some pages won't work at all.  in other words it's getting worse, and
now some pages don't appear at all.  It seems like the whole thing is falling apart.

I uninstalled it, and reinstalled it, and even rebooted my machine, but to no
avail.  the weird thing is, it is an all or nothing thing at this point.  for
example on cbc.ca no images work, but on tsn.ca they all work.

Clearing the Disk Cache made everything work as it was before,
