Details

Many companies have very annoying animated GIFs on their pages.  While this
technique may be helpful at times, it can be a real problem when you are staring
at a screen and trying to read the text.  

C4.7 had a feature whereby pressing the Stop icon, or hitting the Escape key
would halt the images so you could read in peace.  

I really miss that feature and would LOVE to see it implemented for Mozilla.
This used to work in Mozilla, but it regressed when imglib2 landed.
