Details

the animated gif associated with this uri is used to indicate that a search at bugzilla is in progress. Evidently as SVG is now native it might be used to some benefit, at least evangelism....
This is an RFE for Mozilla's Bugzilla install, not a bug in the SVG implementation. Moving to a more appropriate component.

Feel free to attach an SVG version of the graphic.

My first instinct is to say WONTFIX because there's still not a lot of support for SVG out there, even if we support it, we also support a lot of other browsers accessing this site. On the other hand, this is just a "plaything" graphic and not essential to the site operation, so it would indeed be a nice "bonus" to people using a browser that supports it. Reassigning to "nobody" as I don't personally plan to work on an SVG graphic (I'm not a graphic artist). Feel free to do the "Reassign to default owner" thing if anyone uploads a graphic though, and we'll put it in.

#1, 2 & 3 Sam, Reed and Dave, the reason I filed with SVG is that you might more easily get an SVG contribution. the comment regarding SVG support is a little sad, visit http://www.peepo.co.uk/peepo2/ for an example of how to use <object> to substitute a gif where SVG is not supported.
Summary: animated gif should be SVG → Replace buglist loading animated GIF with SVG version
See bug 440245, which asks for it to be an APNG instead. Gerv
sorry, we won't be replacing the gif animation with a different format.
