Escape key usualy disables the GIF animation, but the text is resistant. There
is no way how to get rid of annoying animated text! I'd greatly appreciate a new
option in Preferences/Advanced/Scripts & Plugins/Allow scripts to/Animate text,
which could be used for disabling this horrible thing.

Reproducible: Always

This is an example of this annoying thing.

That's not JavaScript doing that. It's a MARQUEE tag.

Not a javascript? Are you sure? It disappears when the javascript is switched off.

Yes, animation on your testcase is made by IE marqee tag:

<MARQUEE scrollamount="1" scrolldelay="20" behavior="alternate" WIDTH=480>
stále <B>Montreal</B></MARQUEE>

which is in Mozilla emulated by JavaScript (via XBL).

Bug #261109 will fix it. You can turn it off now by adding something like
marquee {-moz-binding: url('')} in your userContent.css.
