Animated favicons? Ooh.

Hey, [1] this is pretty cool.

You can have animated favicons in [2] Firefox! The icons for each site on the [2] Firefox tabs are animated and when you bookmark them, the bookmark icon is animated too. A quick peek at the HTML of a page with animated favicons shows they simply have a 16×16 animated gif and point the page to that as their favicon with this:

link xhref=”images/favico.gif” TYPE=”image/gif” REL=”icon”

That can be pretty slick, if it’s done well. I’ll have to add one. Need to add transparency, too.
