Animated GIF won't work correctly in Firefox

Hi!


I am re-designing a clients Flash website...And converting it over to HTML so that it is more compatible and easier to update. I created an animated gif to duplicate one of the Flash items. It works fine in IE...Everytime I load the page the animated gif plays and stops.But when I open the page in Firefox...It plays on the first page load and even the 2nd page load. But, on the 3rd and after...The image just loads and doesn't play. I suspect Firefox is caching the animated gif...How do I fix it so that everytime the page loads in Firefox ...the animated gif plays everytime?

FYI! I'm already using the meta tag codes:

<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache">
<meta http-equiv="Expires" content="-1">
<meta http-equiv="CACHE-CONTROL" content="NO-CACHE">

Those meta tags don't affect images, only the HTML content that is being served to form the webpage. It is possible to configure your server to send no-cache headers for images, but this would be very costly to resources if it is done for all images, so it should only target the image by path/name. How to do this will depend on what type of server you have.

A simple solution is to set the .gif to continue without stopping.

thus everytime the page loads it will keep rolling along.
