    Abandoned software? Authors should disclose which versions of Firefox are supported in the add-on description.

    Doesn't work in Firefox 110.0 -- it doesn't add any icon to the toolbar, and even after changing the key sequence, it still will not stop animated GIFs.

    Sounds like exactly what I'm looking for, but it does not seem to do anything.

    Updated review for 4 July 2024: This was excellent back when it worked. Sadly it hasn't had any fixes in almost 4 years, and a Firefox update in 2022 broke it.

    94 Broke this add-on. I have come to dislike Firefox more & more.

    It doesn't work on v59 - period. I hate motion on pages I'm trying to read, and I've tried repeatedly to find a way to stop these Giphy animations that appear all over the place. This extension has no effect on them whatsoever.

    I really blame Mozilla for this. If Chrome can provide a built-in switch, so can you. Also, stop "improving" your products so that the most useful elements STOP WORKING.

    I guess Giphy uses GIFVs, i.e. videos. I filed https://github.com/gavinsharp/SuperStop/issues/10 for adding that functionality to the addon, though I don't think I'll have time to fix it any time soon.

    Setting media.autoplay.enabled to false in about:config might be an option for you.

    Edit: I updated the addon -- Shift+Escape should now pause videos as well.
