There's a 13 year old open issue on the Firefox bug tracker that could address this by adding playback controls to animated GIFs[1].
I remember this every once in a while because Dan's replies are great.

- moffkalast 3y agoAh yes, classic bugzilla. "Hey could we do <thing> that would make <other thing> so much easier and solve <problem>?" "Closed as wontfix."
- tomstockmail 3y agoTicket is open, so go ahead and implement to your desire.
- moffkalast 3y agoI get that it's open source and all that, but sometimes one just feels like strolling down to Mozilla HQ and saying "What exactly would you say you do here?" Like people are being paid to work on this thing, they have $400M in revenue. But yeah I'm still mostly in the Chromium camp myself and couldn't care less.
- contravariant 3y agoCould be worse, wouldn't be the first time some minor change or bugfix breaks some power user feature and instead of fixing it properly they just close it as wontfix. Usually this pattern repeats a few times until all workarounds are gone as well.
