Firefox = versatile animation theater

[human]

Mozilla Firefox seems to be evolving into something of a multi-venue animation theater for Flash alternatives.

What's your pleasure, Mac?

You say you want animated GIFs? Done.

Javascript-based animation using floating DIVs or images? Done.

Scalar vector graphics (SVG) shapes pushed around by Javascript? Yep.

One especially powerful animation engine is the canvas. See the shooter demo, Canvascape.

But what about animated PNG? Hang on; it's coming soon:
