Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 188924

I placed a single looped gif into the background of an a-tag, by using css. Now i want to replay another single looped gif on every mouseover (a:hover). That wont work for years now! In the new RC1.5 it works sometimes! And that only on mouseover, the default backgroundimage for an a-tag, is never replayed again after mouseout!

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Clear Cache
2.Refresh
3.Hover a Link, (sometimes it works now in RC1.5, but not after mouseout. only the mouseover)
4. click a link to another page with the same CSS preferences and it wo't work anymore


Expected Results:  
FF should replay the gif, with every mouseover(CSS: a:hover{...}).
And on mouseout it should replay the background gif for the "normal" linkstatus(CSS: a{...}).
