Details
There is a well-known bug in Netscape Communicator AND Mozilla. I've already
reported them 2 years before, but nothing happened ;-) Just look in the .js
files used by the html files listed above. I've written a simple function to
preload GIF-files, which works fine with IE 4.X and Netscape Communicator 4.3
and higher.
The sites changes the buttons on the event "OnMouseOver" with an animated GIF
and replaces it on "OnMouseOut" with another animated one (both being buffered).
While all browser preload the images fine, the display looks different and
Mozilla really sucks up at this step:
---
Details of the tests (the GIFs are NOT looped up, only single sequence)
IE 4.X > : buffers correctly, animates correctly the GIF (only once)on
OnMouseOver and animates correctly the 2th one on OnMouseOut (once too!)
Netscape Communicator 4.3x > : buffers correctly, animates correctly the first
GIF but displays on OnMouseOut only the last sequence of the second GIF-file.
Not serious, but it nerves!
Mozilla 6.1 SR 1 : buffers correctly, but displays all GIFs in a loop!
I'll try to make the testing with Opera too next time.
---
There are style-sheets an layout positioning errors on www.adwww.de made by
Mozilla too, but I'll report them in a separate bug-report.
If you guys want to go with that nice beast on serious competition with
Micro$oft, you should remove such primitive bugs first.
I'm not a die-hard bug reporter, my really occupation is dynamic web-building.
But these bugs are very old and should be solved, they really annoy us in our
businness trend ;-)
Thanx for making Mozilla better, hope it will become something incomparable!

Yes, we've known about this for a long time. Why not go vote for it on the
other bug, since this is a DUP.

Formally reopening and reassigning to ImageLib component; will dupe again
below. This is not JavaScript Engine, and I don't know enough about this
to verify the dupe -
