Hello, my Firefox has been having problems for the last couple of days.

If I view an animated gif on a web page, the thing loads just fine.

If I open up a page such as

http://i.minus.com/ilk8dsFwElcqy.gif

My Firefox is will freeze, get Not Responding. My Firefox.exe CPU Usage (Task manager) will spike up to 50%. After about 5 seconds, the .gif will load and everything will work just fine.

I tested with all add-ons off in safe mode. No luck.

I tested with an all-new profile. No luck.

I tested it with a saved .gif that was opened via Firefox. No luck.

I tested the same .gif in Chrome and it loads just fine.

Is there anything you guys could recommend me trying? It's not really a devastating bug since everything can still be viewable (eventually) but I wouldn't mind it getting fixed.
