Steps to reproduce:
Go to a page with GIFs. For example https://twitter.com/ManjaroLinux
To stop that i went to about:config --> image.animation_mode and set the value to "none"
Actual results:
The GIFs are playing all the time. You cannot stop this.
Expected results:
The GIF should only start playing once or there should be a "Play"-button to start the GIF.

Those aren't GIF images; they're MP4 videos. The site brings up a custom context menu, but you can override this by holding down Shift when you right-click. You can then see "View Video", "Save Video As…" and other such options in the menu.
Set media.autoplay.enabled to false in about:config.

Ah okay. Thank you. I thought the animations were GIFs because it's labeled as this in the bottom left corner.
media.autoplay.enabled to false works. Thank you very much! :-)
