- Rated 1 out of 5by Marty, 3 months agoThe extension does not work under any circumstances. On Reddit, this extension only managed to block two GIF animations. This extension urgently needs an overhaul, as nothing has been done to this extension since 2020.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18279655, a year agoAs others mentioned, it doesn't work. Using about:config -> image.animation_mode -> set value to "none" or "once" is much more effective.
- Rated 1 out of 5by John, 4 years agoIt blocks .PNG photos. I could post a .PNG photo on my Facebook page, but not on a friend's page. It left a blank square. Took me a while to find out why. Also would not prevent a large GIF from playing that someone posted as a Facebook comment.
- Rated 1 out of 5by 12bytes, 5 years agothis is yet another glaring example of the most ill conceived, useless add-ons on AMO as well as another reason to not trust anything coming from add0ns (dot) com
rather than installing this garbage, those that don't wish to see animated GIFs should set 'image.animation_mode' to a value of 'once' in about:config - Rated 1 out of 5by Soldancer, 5 years agoIt won't block the files it promises, possibly because it won't toggle to enabled from the Firefox menu.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Anonymous user 92bq5r, 5 years agoThe setting of "image.animation_mode" in about:config controls image animation with the values of "none" (no animation), "once" (runs animation once), and "normal" (will run animation constantly).
- Rated 1 out of 5by schaferatsprynet, 6 years agoDidn't work anywhere I tried it. And yes, I made sure the pos was enabled.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Qetesh, 7 years agoDoesn't do anything at all. And yes, it was enabled when I tested it.
- Rated 1 out of 5by lee terry, 7 years agoDid not work at all on any site I tested (gifs still worked) and would rate it lower if I could.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13768953, 7 years agoinstall this plugin and go see Gizmodo's website for instance
it does not do anything - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13655638, 7 years agoI've been using this for a couple of days on several websites that have a ridiculous number of GIFs on them and I haven't seen a single one actually get blocked. This just doesn't work at all.
