I knew this would happen.

Does anybody know how Mozilla on there Firefox start page had the image of a sparkling (green stuff moving around) world map. They just took it down recently. When you clicked on it there was no background image option or image view option. Here is a picture of it

I knew they would take it down before I had a chance to ask how this is done. It was basically a pick that I though was some type of animation in it. It was not flash as far as I know. I used the Firefox add-on Scrapbook to make a copy of it, but unlike any other pages captured by Scrapbook it has no image anymore. Could this be some type of secure CDN? Thanks

I don’t know if the HTML file will help determine that. If you interested you can look here it is:HTML Page
Thanks

Maybe you are talking about this?

If you close the popup message that map appears behind.
I reached this page by clicking on the lower mozilla sign in the mozilla start page.

I don’t know exactly how it is done, but at least now you may be able to look at the source code in some way. =)

Thanks. That links is just like a bigger version that they had where the Firefox logo is now (and usually is). HTML5 Canvas is something I am planning on learning about. Thanks again everyone!

Right now Firefox home page has a bouncing star animation, when you right click on it you don’t get any options for Flash or image save options. Is this a canvas element? Thanks
