Favicon at BBC Good Food website spinning round and round and round. Weird feature!?
This question pretty much states it clearly. FavIcon; spinning round and round like those little pictures on a slot machine. Doesn't happen on any other website that I've visited since installing FF4, and doesn't happen in IE8 or FF3.6.*

Most favicons are single image .ico files. Whether by design or error the BBC has saved this favicon as an 8 frame animated gif, the last frame of which appears to be corrupted. Most browsers do not support the animation and will only display the first frame. Firefox 4 is displaying the animation, the glitch that appears in the loop is due to the last frame of the animation being corrupted.
