Hi,

i have a gif, not made by me here: http://www.ashu56.dsl.pipex.com/Peter/av-214.gif

When viewing this is IT it is fine it goes at the correct speed that its ment
to. But when viewing it in firefox it goes way toooo fast.

I have asked other firefox users and they experience the same.

Reproducible: Always

Could you confirm that the movie settings include 25 f.p.s. and that the clip
should therefore finish in about 3 secs.

Firefox displays the animation at the speed specified within the av-214.gif file (25fps).

If that is too fast, then the animation file should be modified so that it specifies a slower speed.

I am not familiar with what "IT" stands for, but if IT is showing the animation a slower speed, then IT is 
incorrectly ignoring the 25fps rate specified in the GIF.
