MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but has been without a comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state.

If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way.
If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar).
If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state.

Query tag for this change: mass-UNCONFIRM-20090614

[Philip Chee]

Problem still exists in 2.0b1pre

Comment 6

[Elmar Ludwig]

This is likely a core issue and affects Firefox as well, just like bug 404285.

Comment 7

[Doug Sherk (:drs) (inactive)]

This doesn't happen for me in Fx. I'm resolving it, but if it still happens in SeaMonkey please re-open.

Comment 8

[chado]

Looks still existing for me, at least on Win7.

Firefox (10.0a1): opening PageInfo starts gif animation, 
even if it is disabled in pref.  No need to switch into Media 
tab to reproduce.
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:10.0a1) Gecko/20111008 Firefox/10.0a1 ID:20111008030946 Built from http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/6c780dcb4b99

SeaMonkey (2.7a1): opening PageInfo then switching into 
Media tab starts gif animation.
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:10.0a1) Gecko/20111007 SeaMonkey/2.7a1 ID:20111007003005 Built from http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/bd1411e362fb

In both cases, it is not reproduced when HTML src attr in img tag 
has data:image instead of image uri.

Well, sorry but I don't have permission for reopening.

Sounds like this requires investigation.

Comment 10

[Scott Johnson (:jwir3)]

I can take a look at this and see what might be the issue here.

(Same here, on Linux.)

I'd guessing that this is because the View Image Info dialog may be chrome (as opposed to content), and hence it still is allowed to animate images regardless of the image.animation_mode setting (so that throbbers etc. in Firefox UI will work).

Comment 12

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

(and, since we generally only instantiate a single object for a given image, that presumably kicks off the animation inside the tab that's directly viewing the image, too.)

Comment 13

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

See also bug 111373 comment 53.

We may be able to share code between this bug and that bug (though we're solving somewhat different problems in the two bugs).

Comment 15

[MarjaE]

Still a problem in 51.0.1.

How to add keyword "Access"?

For some people, depending on our neurology, pain/animation can hurt, can trigger migraines, or with certain flash frequencies, can trigger seizures.
