    Why do some animated GIFs run slower in Internet Explorer 7 than in Firefox?

    I've noticed that some animated GIFs and smilies run slower (jerkier or just plan slower as if they are in slow-motion or something) than in Firefox. Has anyone else noticed this? With Firefox, everything runs at the speed it should.

    Possible, but there are flash animations being converted into animated gifs, to make them accessible to those who don't have the Flash plugin.

    cheers ...
