Bug Description

When I open http://aasi.ebm.fi/4185/Cat_invisible_pet_door.gif in firefox, firefox promptly dies (closes all windows). When starting the browser the next time, there are curious open-close-open-window events.

The bug seems to be reproducible with other browsers too (midori, opera, chormium-browser), but I didn't know better place to report.

Using: Ubuntu 9.04
firefox 3.0.10+nibinonly-0ubuntu0.9.04.1

This is not a browser bug this is a bug in the gif. There is nothing we can do about this. Please talk to the person that posted the image.

It works just fine if I open the image directly, not the page it's on. Also it does not crash on other platforms.
