2024-04-14 LloydEwing Abandoned software? Authors should disclose which versions of Firefox are supported in the add-on description.
2024-04-05 Frank Hall It's nice, very helpful

2023-02-17 Carnotaurus Doesn'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.
2022-12-16 Limoail Was 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?
2022-10-17 AgentOddball Sounds like exactly what I'm looking for, but it does not seem to do anything.
2022-08-05 yy not working
2022-07-18 Brian It just does not work.
2022-07-10 Crumb I 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!
2022-05-15 True True True This 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!
