Do you have this problem with one specific animated gif, or all animated gifs?

It's a common issue (was I should say as we are into IE9 now!).

It's a known bug (limitation) of IE.
Resolution: You could use JavaScript to solve it - Preload image and change source (<img src="?">) of freezing image to that preloaded image on "onbeforeunload" action OR place the image in a div and set display of div as hidden - show the div when you need to show the gif image.

Few discussed issues:
