Displays a Spinning Animated Firefox Logo (Spinfox) when loading a page in Firefox 3 (About:Blank)
Both the Loading New Tab AND the About:blank's background image will be animated. When you open a new tab, it will display this animated image until something from that site is able to be displayed.
* Loosely based on XxXAndrewXxX's About:Blank Blue Firefox , and My Custom New Tab Loading Image - Personalized Logo code... Thanks!
Features:
+ Appears when opening new tabs
+ Appears when loading new tabs content
+ Appears within loading page contents (a loading div control containing a frame of another site)
+ Appears when a page transitions to external or new domain
+ Works in Firefox 3!
+ Clean and very appropriate animated default image, included with style (Firefox logo Spinning)
+ Makes your browser look great, and adds that "wow" factor.
Additional Information:
*NOTE: Please Clear your Cache and Restart your browser after installing or changing this style, your custom image will need to be cached in order for it to be displayed.
* You may have to disable the following two styles for this to work:
- Custom About:Blank logo
- Custom New Tab Loading Image

About:Spinner:
- The reason I do not use an Encoder is because I already tried to use an encoder, and it MAXES out the Max-Character size for Userstyles.org.
- The only solution would be to locally link it to your own hard drive....
- I can encode it properly locally, but cannot share the encoded style on userstyles without it kicking me out!
- Any further suggestions are appreciated
+ This style does still work great
Changelog:
- Initial Release
Install options
- Install Stylish for Firefox, Thunderbird, Flock, Mozilla Suite, SeaMonkey, or Songbird. If you have Stylish already, make sure you're using the latest version and have JavaScript enabled.
- You need Firefox with Stylish to use this style. Get it now, then Install Stylish, then come back here to install this style.
- - load into the Stylish extension where you can preview and save it.
- - this style has been updated since you installed it in Stylish.

Great animated image!
I'd suggest encoding the image in base64, instead of linking directly to it; a direct link with put a large number of requests for that file on that server. Instead, use an encoder ( I use: http://www.motobit.com/util/base64-decoder-encoder.asp ) to generate a base64 code for it, which requires no server at all.
So, instead:
background:
url("http://people.mozilla.com/~dolske/apng/spinfox.png") !important;it would instead look like this:
background:
url("data:image/gif;base64,
BASE64 CODE
") !important;
![http://people.mozilla.com/~dolske/apng/spinfox.png"](http://people.mozilla.com/~dolske/apng/spinfox.png"){kind=link}
