I know that some people like animated gifs and they should be able to keep them
I know that one can freeze an animated gif at a given page.
I would like to have a setting to freeze ALL animated gifs for me, since I am not a fan. Expecially the fast moving ones distract me.

If you want to permanently block GIF animations in your browser, do the following:
In Firefox - Type about:config and change the value of string image.animation_mode from normal to none.
In Internet Explorer - Tools -> Options -> Advance. Uncheck the box in Multimedia group that says "Play animations in web pages"
Just tried it in IE, and it works!!!! Thank you SG, you've made my day. 😀
