Buridan's procrastinator ⁂tip: to stop #gif #animation overall in #firefox / #librewolf, one needs to use about:config.
the setting is image.animation_mode none (or once)
there are no controls on the page, that would require an add-on.
at some point the I-know-better bros who decide these things removed the hotkey (esc)
wontfix after many pleas because the user doesn't exist.
but at least the setting stops the loop and makes some pages viewable without using something like ublock
(I'd like the *option* to see it once; blocking it will do. but even when opening only the gif, it won't show the animation. oh well. I'll miss some minor parts of some explanations then)
is this a mostly #neurodivergent thing? can most users simply read pages with incessant animation on them? because I can't.
and the offhand way in which the simple option to stop it is not offered smacks of "I can't see the problem" or "this only affects a few, so it doesn't matter".
