I have firefox on Win98SE. The problem is that animated GIFs don't animate and are displayed as a stationery picture.

I think the problem is because of some settings in ZoneAlarm (Pro), but couldn't find anything. Or is it some other problem?

Try turning off the PopUp blocking and Ad-Blocking in ZA Pro.

There must be a setting in Firefox that prevents gif animations, or the number of times the animation loops. Check this.

My ZoneAlarm Pro's trial period is expired today. So now its plain ZoneAlarm. It doesn't have Provacy Settings, Cookie Control, Pop-up blocker or Ad-Control. Still, GIFs don't animate :(

What else should I check? I have virtually went thru all the settings, but can't find anything. :(
