Hi Kenny, As far as I can tell it is all about how the browser plays and handles the animated GIFs. I have found that FF using animated GIFs as backgrounds will play the animation once on each page and it takes a refresh or navigating to a new page to play the animation again.
I actually found Safari to be the most frustrating with animated GIFs as backgrounds - it depends on what element the GIF is placed as a background, but it will only play the first frame and stop. But yes, IE plays the animations perfectly each time as expected. However on site that I used animated GIFs as backgrounds it wasn't so much of an issue as they were little extras, not on navigation. I have not found any work around or solution so I'm afraid I can't help you any further.

Usually I'd agree. But in this case, that won't work. :( ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ****************************************************** ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
