Way fubar animated GIF handling.

Went to
http://www.rotaryengineillustrated.com/RE101pages/2-mechanics101.html,
where there are 3 ~400K animated GIFs highlighting the page, plus a link
to two more. Got tired of waiting for Mozilla to finish loading all
three here and went to "next" link. Those I let load, which took
forever. Then I decided I'd like to study them some more, so I chose to
view each in turn by itself. Then I chose to save each to disk. Big
mistake. Mozilla decided to download each image fresh instead of saving
a copy of what it was showing me on screen. Really dumb, just like 4.61
used to do. After I started both to downloading, went back to the page
with the three and tried to view the third image all by itself. That
went fine, but when I hit the back button, the whole desktop turned into
a kaleidoscope. CAD required to get desktop back to useable state, even
though Alt-F4 did make the space formerly occupied by Mozilla no longer
contain any traces of Mozilla.
