SuperStop by Gavin Sharp, Simon Lindholm
Review by Alexis Wilke
Rated 5 out of 5
by Alexis Wilke, 5 years agoExactly what I was looking for. I still don't understand why they (firefox dev.) completely removed the old Esc functionality instead of making it available with another key... This one is even better since it stops "everything" like the Stop button but for ongoing connections, GIF, video, audio...

- Rated 1 out of 5by LloydEwing, 8 months agoAbandoned software? Authors should disclose which versions of Firefox are supported in the add-on description.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Carnotaurus, 2 years agoDoesn'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.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Limoail, 2 years agoWas working for me - until Firefox 108.0 when the default Shift-ESC key combination started to be used to open the about:processes tab.
Any suggestions for a good free key combination to use for it going forward? - Rated 1 out of 5by AgentOddball, 2 years agoSounds like exactly what I'm looking for, but it does not seem to do anything.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Crumb, 2 years agoI consider this add-on one of the best in the repository. But now want to draw the developer's attention to the fact that it stopped working!
- Rated 5 out of 5by True True True, 3 years agoThis add-on used to be a godsend against Gifs and other animated/autoplaying content. You could also bind the SuperStop functionality to just the Esc key, making it even more natural to use. That's what the 5/5 rating is for.
Unfortunately, it no longer works, effectively, 1/5. Please make this work again! - Rated 1 out of 5by Thirty30, 3 years agoUpdated 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.
- Rated 2 out of 5by basa, 3 years agoIt's a must-have add-on, but it does not work everywhere anymore, for example on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animation and on https://www.nrc.nl/. I hope you can repair the issue. Thank you.
- Rated 1 out of 5by ozarks, 3 years ago94 Broke this add-on. I have come to dislike Firefox more & more.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Trainor, 3 years agoStill gave it 5 stars because SuperStop has worked perfect for years, but disappointed just now in seeing that it doesn't stop animated gifs in the Insticator commenting platform.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16936337, 3 years agoThank-you, simple, fast, perfect. Distraction eliminator, productivity enhancer.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Crispydog, 3 years agoThis extension works every time. I will not use a browser that autoplays animations. This extension stops them quickly with a simple key combo. Great work! Thank you.
- Rated 4 out of 5by matt wilkie, 3 years agoA huge sigh of relief to find this! Thank you. -1 star because it would be better as a stop/start toggle. Sometimes it's hard to stop the animation at the right point (need to read it for example).
