I use extra big image as frame sequence for animation (sprite image). The image's width is 57600 px, height = 160px, weight = 1.85 mb. All modern browsers can load and show this image, but Firefox can't. FF also can't show the image by direct url to file.

image demo: http://e-nicko.ru/projects/magicwalls/imgtest.htm image source url: http://e-nicko.ru/projects/magicwalls/imgs/sphere3.jpg

Live demo complete project where used this images for animation: http://e-nicko.ru/projects/magicwalls/

FF Console says: "Syntax Error Image corrupt or truncated: ... Components is not defined"

also in FF javascript IMG .complete says "true" O_o

Please could anyone help me to fix it or explain why it's going so.

On Windows, Firefox 4 and later traditionally has failed on images larger than 32,766 pixels in any direction. You're not the first person to find this annoying: https://support.mozilla.org/search?a=1&w=2&q=32,766.

I'm not sure when this might get fixed...

I'm not sure if it is that issue. On Linux this would normally work, but it shows a white image. Interesting is that Firefox 3.6 shows the first part of the image, but with wrong colors.

Maybe it is worth to file a bug about this issue.
