The user-interface for a web browser has to present, in the content area,

animated background graphic, we have to be able to do it.

We've always been thinking that. If you don't think so, you are welcome to
use a non-platform implementation of Gecko, such as Galeon or K-Meleon.

When you consider all the native widget sets across different platforms,
it's a lot more than one minor thing.
