278547 - mouse movement speed controls animated gif speed

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

When there is an animated gif on the page being displayed, the speed of
animation is controled somehow by the movement of the mouse.  The faster I move
the mouse, as well as slowly in certain directions, will cause the gif to
animate at extremely high speeds.  The slower I move the mouse, the slower the
speed, sometimes stoping all together.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Find site with animated gifs (usually ads).
2.Observe speed without moving mouse.
3.Observe speed while moving mouse at various speeds.

Actual Results:  
Gif animation speeds varied with mouse movement.

Expected Results:  
Gif should animate at fixed speed (set by creator) or some default speed if not
specified.  It should not vary, especially due to mouse movement.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not

Network Pipelining allows TCP packets to be sent back and forth. We enabled it, and increased the max requests; so if you are loading a site with a lot of images, it should load twice as fast.

We also increased cache size, changed Firefox's idle mode, and more.
