In the referenced page, it's the F-22 "Air Dominance" advert. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Flash objects are not actually images, so Mozilla has no control over how they are rendered (they are rendered by an external plug-in). We can only render them or not render them....

No doubt. But shouldn't the flash plug-in be disabled (not called) when animations are set to "none?"
Not all flash objects are animations (or even images). Some are forms and there are a few things like crossword puzzles and such I've seen done in flash.... What you are asking for is a plugin manager; there is a bug filed on that...
