Is it just me or do gif animations seem to run too fast in Firefox? Take a look at my hypnotoad icon in firefox, then take a look at it in IE or another browser/viewer. There's a signifciant difference in speed.

I've noticed this with another icon recently as well. I tried viewing a gif animation in Irfan view as well and it was the same speed as in IE. This leads me to believe that Firefox has a bug that's running the animation too fast, rather than IE running it too slow.

Please note that gif animations have delays specified in the number of milliseconds, so if it's running at a different speed in some software, it's because of a bug not obeying the time delays correctly.

Here's a gif to test with in addition to my icon:
