CSS to Change Background

I am facing some problem on css to change background in different browser. Here is something I had done.

@-webkit-keyframes change-background {
  0% {background: url('../asset/stressed_linen_@2X.png') repeat;}
  100% {background: url('../asset/shattered_@2X.png') repeat;}
}

@-moz-keyframes change-background {
  0% {background: url('../asset/stressed_linen_@2X.png') repeat;}
  100% {background: url('../asset/shattered_@2X.png') repeat;}
}

After setting up the keyframes, I wrote these.

.container {
  -webkit-animation-name: change-background;
     -moz-animation-name: change-background;
  -webkit-animation-delay: 4s;
     -moz-animation-delay: 4s;
  -webkit-animation-duration: 1.5s;
     -moz-animation-duration: 1.5s;
  -webkit-animation-iteration-count: 1;
     -moz-animation-iteration-count: 1;
  -webkit-animation-fill-mode: forwards;
     -moz-animation-fill-mode: forwards;
}

But as results, the keyframe is working well in Chrome and Safari, but not in Mozilla Firefox, is there any mistake on my Mozilla prefix?

Unfortunately, this only works in -web-kit (chrome, safari etc) at present. In firefox, background image isn't a property that can be animated / tweened.

You could do something like lay a series of div's (with your background images) on top of each other using position: absolute. You could then animate the opacity of these divs to 0 - leaving the one you want at 100% (a sort of flick book effect).

Firefox should implement this feature soon - Webkit does seem to be leading the way.
