Hi trebormojo
Myself I do not normally use png files for images, usually just jpg or gif files, either depending upon resolution and application.
I saw the comment about the counter not displaying on your Mozilla browser.
Myself, for browsers, I have both the IE 6.x browser and I have an older version of the Opera browser (vers 3.62 --- note I "gave up" doing upgrades for Opera when they were around that version number... they were coming up with too many bugs and other problems, plus costs to upgrade to another major revision number... just said "forget it") and 3.62 has been my "alternative browser" but more often used than IE 6.
For my own site and for a couple of friends sites that I program for in good plain ol 4.01 transitional html.... no fancy java, flash, or other junk.... I use as a counter a "plain ascii" cgi counter script. With this counter one can use it on different pages, but the requirement for using cgi script on a page is to have that page named as INDEX.SHTML rather than INDEX.HTML or INDEX.HTM...... it must be a page named .SHTML
For any page that it counts, there is a small file that is kept on the server with your other site files that maintains the actual count for the page, similarly named for the page that it is a counter for, thus if used on INDEX.SHTML the counter data file is named as INDEX.COUNT and you can initially set the count to whatever you want and for 1 to xx many digits with or without leading zeros. The counter cgi script may be contained within a <FONT> </FONT> command thus you can set font size as well as font color or font style.
I "created" this counter script from a collage of two other counter scripts that I had found on the net and I got it to work and I have used it since then with no problems. Compared to "fancy" graphic images as alike an odometer .... how many people think of the "net" as an automobile, I just wanted plain ascii for the counter..... its also faster as straight plain text compared to "images". It is also better having one's own counter compared to using a "service counter" alike many on the net that go to "some other site" for the count to be handled by..... that takes more traffic, and the "other site" also can learn at least where your visitors come from and other stats, and those "other sites" can also at times get bogged down thus slowing down ones own site.... etc etc.
If you would be interested in getting a copy of this "plain ascii" web page counter script that I have, leave a note here.... else you could send me an email to a special email that I use .... eliminating spam this way too..... at my YAHOO.COM

Just paste that email together properly and I will try to get back to you with the counter code, and info about setting it up on a page or two on your site. You would have to use .SHTML instead for the page extension but that shouldn't be any problem normally.
Hope this helps. Not sure what kink of Mozilla browser you were using but a counter that uses plain text should appear in any browser, so this might help.
