Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Visit http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/ 2.Try to stop the animated gifs using either the "Esc" key 3.or the View/Stop menu Actual Results: The gifs still annimate. Expected Results: The gifs should stop. This has worked in previous versions of Mozilla and in Netscape 3.x and 4.x Animated gifs are annoying, being able to stop them is a very important feature. A more useful feature would be a checkbox in the Image preferences dialog box to disable them entirely. I know there's a magic javascript incantation that could do that, but it's not good enough.
