Anyone know why some animated graphics display ok, i.e. animated, with Firefox but not with Safari ? This happens with Monster's latest rendition. Oddly, the swirl of the Reverend McCheese is OK on both ??!! |

Do you have some kind of filtering software installed, like PithHelmet? Most can do some kind of limiting of animations. I have mine set to animate twice.
Many people hate animated graphics.  |

It's probably my fault, though it works fine on Safari for me, even if I limit animations with PithHelmet, http://www.culater.net/software/PithHelmet/PithHelmet.php
Do you have an links to some other animated gifs that cause a problem?

No, no filtering software. Safari and FFox are "out of the box", i.e. I haven't applied any 3rd party extensions. Bloo works fine on both !
Being relatively new to the world of the big Apple, I'm more curious as to whether there are known issues with certain "standard" software.
PS versions I'm using - FireFox V 1.5.0.1, Safari V 2.0.3 (417.8) |

It's a known bug (or as I call it, "feature") in Safari that animated JPEG images won't animate. They work for me in Firefox on Mac. |

A bug in Apple software ? Oh no, I'm flabbergasted |

Dave,
I think that's been fixed. I use PithHelmet to stop the (annoying) animations, but this page shows up just fine for me with the latest version anyway:

Wait, I see now that you wrote "animated jpeg", not "gif." Monster's works fine for me. |
