Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 256062

(Firefox :: General, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

in Internet Explorer, hitting the stop button in the navigation bar will stop an
animated gif from continuing its animation.  In firefox once the page is loaded
the stop button is grayed out.  Perhaps instead of using the stop button like
Internet explorer does, an option when right-clicking on the animated gif could
be to stop it, similar to the way flashplayer can sometimes let you halt a flash
animation through the right-click menu

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.load http://www.chelseapiers.com/sr01.htm completely
2.try clicking stop or in some other way stopping the animated gif on the left

Actual Results:  
nothing, which is the point.

Expected Results:  
clicking stop or right-clicking and choosing a stop option should have stopped
the GIF

You can stop animations by pressing Esc.
