I strongly disagree.  If I can't disable image animation, I won't use a browser.  The only thing I use animated GIFs for are weather radar loops, so I keep a copy of Internet Explorer to look at those and the odd Flash animation.

To disable animated GIFs and images in Firefox, you will need to edit the the about:config file.

As jsebrech states on a message (Tuesday February 10th, 2004):

  • Type about:config
  • Go to image.animation_mode, set the value to "once" or "none".

As you can probably guess, setting it to "none" will not let any animation occur, and setting it to "once" will let the image animate one time, then stop.

jsebrech also adds:

I think it's a good thing this is not in the prefs. Very, very few people want this (certainly not common people), and those that do can always type about:config. There is no need, ever, to edit the prefs.js file, about:config can do it all.

I strongly disagree. If I can't disable image animation, I won't use a browser. The only thing I use animated GIFs for are weather radar loops, so I keep a copy of Internet Explorer to look at those and the odd Flash animation.
