Stop Animations in Firefox

[Karen]

OMG what heavenly relief!
Everything holds still now. No more hitting the escape key every time I load a new forum page. I would say the difficulty level is VERY EASY.

I'll miss out on a bit of action, but joyful moments like these are rare indeed.

Instructions
Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Start your Firefox browser and open a new window. Visit a website you know features animated images. Identify an animated image in your browser. Wait for it to load completely.
Step2
Press the ESC key on your keyboard.
Step3
Type "about:config" in the browser's address bar and press Enter. Allow the list to populate.
Step4
Enter "image.animation_mode" into the filter field and let the single result show under Preference Name.
Step5
Double-click on the result. Type "none" in place of "normal" in the Enter String Value pop-up.
Step6
Click OK. Close all windows and completely exit the browser.
Step7
Restart Firefox to enjoy an animation-free web browsing experience.

If I read you correctly, I think you misunderstand - now I NEVER have to hit the escape key again!
