The problem was Privoxy. There is a 'deanimate-gifs' setting and this was the culprit. Adding my web site to the list of exceptions has cured the problem. Setting up a new browser profile cured the problem temporarily until I remembered that I hadn't set the proxy. Doing that, which then routes everything through Privoxy, brought the problem back but I hadn't realised that until I tried disabling Privoxy today. Ah well we live and learn. Well, I learn until I forget. (easy at my age) :-)) Thanks to Sven and Camaleon for trying.
