Summary
Block GIF images and replaced them with a local vectorial image to save internet bandwidth and reduce loading time and also to improve page performance.
User reviews
As others mentioned, it doesn't work. Using about:config -> image.animation_mode -> set value to "none" or "once" is much more effective.
