They work fine for me, in both Firefox 3.6 and on trunk.
Just to check, are your image animation preferences set to not animate or animate once or something?

In preferencies (about:config):
image.animation_mode - predeterminado - cadena - normal
browser.fullscreen.animnatedUp - predeterminado - entero - 1
browser.preferences.animateFadeIn - predeterminado - logico - false
Thanks
I can reproduce this under the following conditions:
1) Firefox 4 beta Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0b7pre) Gecko/20100930 Firefox-4.0/4.0b7pre
2) The animated gif is in a web page.
3) The HTML web page is reloaded using F5 (or clicking on the reload button).
If I drag the page onto the browser, the animation will run. If the page is reloaded, the animation will stop. The animation will not restart unless I drag the web page onto the browser again. I don't have any problems with Firefox 3.6, so this seems to be new to Firefox 4.
If I simply load the animated GIF in the web page directly (i.e. not part of a web page) the problem does not occur even if the GIF is reloaded. It must be part of the web page for this problem to occur.
I discovered this problem when testing a web application I am working on. I'm using an animated GIF as a "spinner" while the page is waiting for a server response. In that case, when the animation is stopped I have to close the browser completely and re-open it. If I navigate away from the page and return to it, the animation is stopped and won't restart unless the browser is closed and re-opened.
I am posting this here because I *think* the problem I am seeing is the same as originally reported here, but the original description left out the fact that you need to be using the GIF in a web page. I used the animal0028.gif file in this test, but I discovered the problem when using my own GIF file.
I can supply a test web page if required, but the above mentioned GIF and a very simple HTML 4 or HTML 5 web page illustrate the problem quite easily.
As a correction to my previous post, where I said:
"If I simply load the animated GIF in the web page directly (i.e. not part of a web page)"
I actually meant to say:
"If I simply load the animated GIF in the web *browser* directly (i.e. not part of a web page)".
That is, I don't see the problem if I load the GIF file directly in the browser. I do see the problem if the GIF is loaded as part of the web page.

> I don't have any problems with Firefox 3.6
Then you're not really seeing this bug, which was filed against 3.6. Would you mind filing a separate bug on your issue (and ccing me)?
Sorry about that, I guess I was trying too hard to avoid posting a duplicate bug. I will post a new bug report with sample files.

The .gif files linked to are no longer available. If this still happens please reopen with new links.
