Firefox 3 Supports Animated PNG

Ajaxian notified that one of many new features added to Firefox 3 is the support of Animated PNG.

The PNG image format is now widely accepted as a superior replacement for static GIF images, but for animated GIFs there has not yet been a clear successor. The new Animated PNG format (APNG) is a simple extension to PNG, making it superior for animations too. 

Here are some examples that you can run in FF3:

• 3D APNG’s - January 24th, 2008
• Brendan Sera-Shriar - January 24th, 2008
• Mozilla Labs - Justin Dolske - January 23rd, 2008
• William Wong - January 23rd, 2008
• Joanna Viera - January 23rd, 2008
• Daniel Coltri - January 23rd, 2008
