177253 - Play-once animated GIFs cannot be replayed (even if you reload)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 175509

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Martin Polley]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021027

This animated GIF (which plays thru only once) cannot be replayed. In earlier
versions of Mozilla, you coule either reload the page, or click Back, then
Forward (which would replay image from the cache).

No NEITHER of these actions causes the GIF to replay. I guess you would have to
manually delete it from the cache and then reload, but this is a messy workaround.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to http://forecast.uoa.gr/MODEL_OUTPUT/rain/anim.gif.
2.Watch as the frames play through as the image loads.
3.Click Back, then Forward. (Last frame only is visible.)
4.Click Reload. (Last frame only is visible.)

Actual Results:  
After the GIF plays through once, you cannot see anything but the last frame.
(And yes, I DID check my Privacy/Images settings--set to load images and allow
animated images to play thru as many times as specified by the image.)

Expected Results:  
Should replay the animated GIF, at least when you reload the image, and ideally
also when you do Back/Forward.
