Ah, a script/plugin as a workaround? Maybe, but do the sites with animates favicons deserve so much attention? Do you know any useful web site with animated favicon?
GMail has a cool extension in Labs that changes the favicon to display the number of unread messages. So that's a use-case.
It's why I stopped using thunderbird, and mostly gave up on mozilla products. Here we are, about 14 years later.

And that's precisely why you shouldn't be using them. We developers are some of the worst people at understanding what's actually important and what's not to a user's workflow.
