Firefox 93 doesn't seem to support animated AVIF images. I have few AVIF examples animating correctly on Chrome 94 but only showing stills on Firefox 93.

Edit: I found few examples here: https://colinbendell.github.io/webperf/animated-gif-decode/a...

What is really odd is that if you go to the AVIF Wikipedia entry animation isn't even listed as a feature:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AV1#AV1_Image_File_Format_(AVI...

When people were comparing it to GIF I specifically tried to check if it supported animations, but came up with little.

From that link:

> AV1 Image File Format (AVIF) is an image file format specification for storing images or image sequences compressed with AV1 in the HEIF file format.
