(Whiteboard: [nsbeta2+ until 5/16] Composer feature work) 

If you edit a page with animated GIFs, we need to turn them off. Having a page
with animated GIFs in the editor also seems to suck up a lot of CPU time.

actually GIFs could animate in 4.x.  There should be a preference to disable
animated gifs altogether.  The editor, browser and mail should all obey that
preference.

Setting to M15 since this isn't a crasher and we could ship the beta with this
since it is in parity with 4.x functionality.
We need to test this to make sure that we can operate with blinking GIFs. The bug
was originally filed on a page which never stopped reloading, so if animated GIFs
are causing us to get continual OnEndDocumentLoad notifications, that would be
bad.
There is a request for this preference, bug #15145.
I'll take this.

updating keyword and status whiteboard to reflect that this is a beta 2 feature

Note that this depends on 33810. You should mark that nsbeta2 also if you want me 
to fix this.

No longer depends on: 33810
this fix needs to be checked in for pnunn to fix 33810 which is a dogfood bug. I 
gave sfraser approval to check in the fix

I neglected to mention that this is also a performance issue, if the animation 
continues within the editor, then the frame needs repaint each time, which in 
turn affects the editor typing performance, etc.
verified in 5/26 build.
