Firefox - Disabling animations in web pages?

Can you do it, and if so, how? I don't see any options for doing so.

With IE you can do it through:

Internet Options
> Advanced Tab
> Multimedia
- then unchecking the box that says "Play animations in web pages"

The only way I can think to do it would be to import my IE internet options into Firefox, but I don't want to do that because everything is vastly different between my two browsers. I'm thinking there has to be a simple way to do this, but I just can't find it.

I appreciate the help. Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year esteemed Wilders members!

 

Try this:

1) Open the config options (about:config)

2) Type "animation"

3) Set it to "none"

4) Restart browser

Every time you visit a website that has embedded animated GIFs, you'll only see the first frame.

 

If you want to do it manually on "noisy" pages, try hitting ESC.

Works for me !
