Firefox - Gif animations too fast

I've noticed that gifs "play" faster on Linux than on Windows, is there any reason for this and is there any way to change it back to normal speed?
I've googled it, but maybe I'm just not using the right search terms.
Arch64, Firefox 3.6 (newest) etc.
Let me know if I need to give more info, thanks.

  • Firefox versions change too fast.

    Some development-tools refer to HTML/CSS features that work in certain version, but with 1 major-verions per 6 weeks we are at version 16 in one year.
    No tool will provide glue what CSS level can be expected to work in which version.
    For example "WeBuilder" assigns for CSS properties whether
    it works with
    CSS2 Css3 IE6 IE7 IE8 IE9 FF3 FF4
    They will NOT maintain a list with 9 Version for FF per year !
    Please use major version changes for major changes, but
    not as rollout counter.

  • Just updated Firefox, not sidebar scrolls too fast.

    I just updated Firefox. Now when I hold down the vertical scrolling arrow at the bottom right of the page it scrolls faster than it used to. It's too fast. How do I slow this down?

    There are extensions that work both for the mouse and the keyboard to set the scroll amount, but they can only be set to scroll an amount of pixels and not to scroll one line regardless of font-size (height) of the text.

  • Interactive "on page load" animations in swf get messed up if clicked too fast

    interactive "on page load" animations in swf get messed up if I click too fast "next page" or "previous page".
    It seemes it can't manage on "page load" animations so fast, so as a result i have mixed animations for example of page1 and page2.
    if page1 has animation1 and 2 and i clicked next page, the next animation to appear is number 3 of page 2 , instead of number 1 which must be the first one to be triggered.
    This only happens if i click fast and several times the "next page" or "previous page.

    I have to say what you are trying might not be the best technique. The show hide might work ok for one or two items on a page but when you use it in the manner you are you are going to have the issues that you are now having...not to mention longer page loading do to larger file size of the page. My suggestion is to look into jquery and there are many plugins that can be modded to look the way you want however perform ten times better then using AP divs with show/hide.
    Here is one example that I found of a jquery plugin. There  plugin after plugin on the web for every scenario and they all can be modded to fit you needs. Do a search and you will eventually find something that fits your needs.

  • Artifacts in gif animation

    I'm experiencing an issue with artifacts in gif animation and I hope the collective brain trust in here can help.  I've attached the file so you can see what I'm talking about.  I've loaded the file into Dreamweaver to run as the header background and when I preview the page in IE the aircraft leave artifacts behind at every frame and the text looks torn as well.  When I preview the same page in Firefox it looks crisp.
    I created the aircraft and their contrails as four separate layers and linked them prior to starting the animation process.  The text is its own layer as well.  Thinking the linking might be an issue, I also flattened the airfraft layers into one and reaccomplished the animation but go the same result.
    I'm previewing the images in Firefox version 3.5.3 and IE 8.0.6001.  The animation itself is 60 frames long each with a duration of .01.  The file was "saved as web device" from Photoshop as a .gif 64 dithered (dithered 88%) and then inserted into the page I'm working on through Dreamweaver.
    Anyone out there have a suggestion as to how I can clean this image up and make it look as good on IE as it does on Firefox?

    Marian & Mylenium,
        Thanks for the information.  I tried to just animate the aircraft and while the artifact issue was solved, the animation simply wasn't smooth enough for my liking.  I agree the SWF option is the way to go but due to IT restrictions, that software isn't readily available to the end users.  I use Preimere Pro too so creating the files would be a breeze but pointless to do so if the file won't launch.  I appreciate you both taking the time to not only answer the question but to explain why going the route I was going wasn't the best option.  Cheers!

  • How Can I Edit Gif Animation

    I have a gif animation of a cat playing a sax. In ImageReady I want to edit it to replace the sax with a microphone so I "Placed" a vector gif of the microphone- after erasing the sax and cloning to fill in where needed. The problem is that when I attempt to move the microphone in the first layer, it happens to all the layers and if I try to move it to a new position in any other layer, it moves in the others too. How can I make it "stick" in each layer, in different positions? I have tried to lock all the layers but the one I am working on... I just don't know what I need to do. thanks

    Here is one fairly quick and easy way that should work with Win98. Create a new object, but not a Lookout object. Click on the activeX tab and look in the Recommended folder. There you should find Microsoft Web Browser. Select this as your new object to create. Change the name if you want, but leave everything else blank. Now from Windows Explorer simply drag the GIF file and drop it in the object display. The animation should begin doing whatever it does right away.

  • Why are all of the gif animations on my webpage running on a "continuous" animation loop?

    each of my webpages is designed with a .gif image that play's its set of frames one time for the user to see a single animation with the loading of the page.
    after i was automatically updated with firefox 4 latest update this morning, i checked my website. now it is playing my .gif animations continuously.
    it did not do this when i re-installed an earlier version of firefox, and the copy of internet explorer that i had originally on the computer did not do this.
    the only way for my webpage to function properly is if the animation is running on a single .gif cycle, i can no longer market with my webpage on this version of firefox.

    It will be fixed in beta 11.

  • Why don't gif animations work in Mail 3.4?

    I posted this earlier today on what I thought was the 10.5 Leopard section and as it turned out, it somehow posted in the Panther OS section. Doh! I'm sorry if you saw the other post and this is the second time you have read this today.
    I have read through the Mail discussions since the release of Leopard trying to figure out why gif animations do not work in Leopard Mail but they do work in Tiger Mail. I have read several explanations by several different people giving various reasons why they do not work. I have little faith in the answers I've seen to date as to why they do not work in Leopard Mail, as every now and then I get an email with an embedded gif +that does animate+ in Leopard Mail.
    If I download from Leopard Mail an animated gif file to my desktop that does not animate in Mail and then open that gif in TextEdit, it animates just fine.
    If I take some of the gif files that do not animate in Leopard Mail and publish to an iWeb page, they animate just fine when I visit the published page.
    If I open the same email that will not animate in Mail 3.4 in my .mac/.me account using Safari, the animations animate fine in the webmail.
    This one really gets me. If I forward an email that contains embedded gif files that are known to animate and that do not animate in Leopard Mail to my iPhone, +they animate just fine in iPhone Mail+. *Go figure!* Why should/would they animate in my little old iPhone 3G Mail but not my full sized Mac PowerBook, using the powerful mail application, Mail?
    According to some people who have posted responses as to why Leopard Mail does not support animations, Apple does not read the Discussion posts! I have made more than one trip to the Apple Genius Bar and asked why Apple does not read the Discussions and each time the answer has been, "Apple does read the Discussions. Apple employees do not reply to them." I really do think Apple reads these posts somewhere along the line and that software changes do occur because of some of the posts.
    Apple: If you are reading this, what gives with Leopard Mail and gif animations? Why the step back from gif animation in Tiger Mail to hit and miss (mostly miss) animation in Leopard Mail? Why not post an Article explaining why animations should not work/do not work in Leopard Mail?
    Joe

    I have used OS X Feedback on several occasions and have never heard back from Apple regarding any of my queries nor have I seen any software changes come about because of any of my queries.
    Apple doesn't respond to Feedback; they get way too many to have any time for that, but their engineering staff do keep track of what comes in and evaluates suggested changes all the time. I've made a good number of suggestions and I do get replies, but that's only because I have the email addresses for those who make the decisions, and I can't give those out.
    Just because you haven't seen changes doesn't mean they didn't consider your suggestions or that they aren't planning on incorporating a feature that you and others have suggested in the future. After all, the next version of OS X, Snow Leopard, isn't due until next year, and they're working on things for beyond that even now. Nothing has been finalized, so everything is open to more change after Snow Leopard.

  • Slow gif animations from photoshop

    Hi all. I have to create two small gif animations. Each one is only 10 frames and the file size of my animations is under 40k when exported. But no matter what timing setting I use, they seem sluggish when viewed in any browser (FF, IE, Safari). I've tried 0.5, 0.2, 0.1, 0.05, and even 0.0 between frames. The animation should really only take half a second to complete but they seem to take up to two seconds to complete when view in a browser.
    Yet I can view other gif animation on the web that are much larger in size and they seem to animate quickly and smoothly (compared to my slow and choppy ones).
    is there a trick to getting fast, smooth animations from photoshop?
    Thanks!

    > via the gif animation import
    There is no such feature in DW. DW knows nothing about GIF
    images other than
    the fact that they are images. I'm guessing that you did not
    properly
    export the animated GIF from Photoshop. When you open that
    image in the
    browser, does it animate?

  • I ran Advance System Care 3 Disk Optimizer program and now my drop down menus are too fast. How do I slow them down

    I ran Advanced System Care3 disk optimizer program on my computer and now the drop down menus in Firefox open too fast. Mostly in the Bookmarks menu with nested folders. I went into the registry and changed all the "MenuShowDelay" data values back to 400(which were changed to 200 by the program. All the other windows programs drop down menus went back to the original speeds and are fine. Firefox did not change back to it's original delay speed. Where is the registry entry or configuration file for Firefox? How can I slow the menu down?

  • Tooltip with img title disppears too fast

    The problem was already described - in 2008. Not sure if it was fixed later, but I got hit by it now.
    When I go to (for example) http://xkcd.com/, and hover over image, there is tooltip shown with title attribute of the image.
    The problem is that the tooltip disappears after around 2-3 seconds - way too fast to allow me to read it.
    Is there any option to make tooltips stay in place until I move the mouse, or press something?
    I'm using Firefox 34 on 64 bit Linux (kubuntu).

    Are you using a possibly special branded Firefox version from the Ubuntu repositories or the official Firefox release from the Mozilla server?
    You can find the full version of the current Firefox 34.0 release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
    *https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

  • Parallax scrolling too fast outside of Muse preview

    I'm trying to get the hang of parallax scrolling, but how it previews with Muse differs greatly from any actual browser.
    I export the HTML file, it pops open in Chrome and looks great. But if I try to open the HTML file from the folder into Chrome, or preview the site after it's uploaded to the web, suddenly the scrolling is way too fast. Everything disappears with one flick of the mouse scroll wheel. It also happens in Firefox and IE.
    I've tried importing scripts, but again, it effects the Muse preview, but not the actual site in the end.
    Is this a common problem? How should I approach to work around this?
    Thanks!
    I'm using the latest version of Muse. Chrome is up to date. I am on a Windows 7 computer.

    Hi,
    This is an odd issue. Please provide your site URL to test it. You can publish a trial site on Business Catalyst.

  • Scrolling Too fast

    Hi, the scrolling speed of all the web pages in Firefox is too fast. With other browsers there's no issue. I'm using the device
    "Micromax A177". It runs on jelly bean. And it's not rooted, if that info is required. I love to use Firefox on my mobile. But this issue is bothering me so much.
    Thanks in advance.
    P.S. by too fast I mean just by a single swipe I will reach the end of the web page which usually takes not less than 5 to 7 swipes on chrome

    hi Dinesh013, i guess that's a bit of a matter of preference - some people might prefer to be able to scroll through a page with a single gesture. however the speed of scrolling should be adaptive of the speed of your swiping gesture...
