How do I stop playing animated GIF's within web pages?

Various websites display numerous images available for download. Some of those images are animated GIF files. These files take time to load and chew up a lot of my limited upload/download usage. IE Explorer let me see a single image for the GIF but doesn't load or play the GIF. How do I get that same setting in Mozilla Fire Fox?

hello vyoumans,
i found a couple different ways this can be done.
1. this firefox addon, [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/toggle-animated-gifs/ Toggle animated GIFs], seems to work pretty good. ctrl+m toggles the animations on and off.
2. if you don't want to install an addon, you can go to your browser configuration file. type ''about:config'' in the address bar and find the entry ''image.animation_mode''. double click it and set its value to ''none''. this should disable all GIF animations

  • How to download an animated .gif from a web page

    how do i download to my mac an animated gif that is on a web page....when i want a picture or text or something like that i just ...apple shift 4 and "take a picture of it" ...but i want the animation..i have never had to do that on this mac.....a windoze person from the site(chat site) said just right click but my wireless mac mouse doesnt do that....i would appreciate any help.....i do know how to down load from a site that has downloadable .gifs...you just click the download sign they have and no problem....but this is just a random animated .gif from a web page ....i hope my ques is clear....thank you

    Drag and drop it from the webpage onto your desktop. Note that it won't remain "animated" while you're looking at the file's icon, but it should work if you build it into a new website.
    And you can right-click with a Mac mouse - you just have to set it up to do so in System Preferences. (Set the right side of the mouse to be a "secondary click".)

  • When restarting firefox after a crash, how do I stop it from re-opening all web pages that were open at the time of the crash?

    When firefox crashes, or if it hangs and I have to kill it, then when I go to restart it, it tries to re-open all pages that were open at the time it crashed or was killed. This is incredibly annoying, especially if one of the visited pages caused the crash or hang. It is also really annoying if some of the web pages happened to require passwords to log in, from multiple sites. In my case this occurs as I am frequently logged into multiple online educational web sites like ucsc-extension.edu and berkleemusic.com. In the login case you get multiple login prompt pop-ups with no way to correlate which pop-up goes with which web page. If there are a lot of them then it's a hopeless mess. This behavior is something that I never ever want and it infuriates me that not only is it the default behavior, it is something that there seems to be no way to turn off, at least via the configuration menus. Am I wrong? Is there a way to turn this off? If not can somebody either make it configurable or get rid if this fantastically idiotic behavior?
    I suspect there's a command line option for this but on my Mac (or most systems these days) it's sort of "unnatural" to be starting programs like browsers by means other than a provided program start-up icon, which gives you no choice about the command line options.
    Besides, as a default behavior the current behavior is something I cannot conceive of ever wanting. I would rather have a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == firefox crashed

    You can try this.
    In the address bar type about:config you will be warned that this is dangerous.
    Search for browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash
    Double click on true to toggle it to false.
    Exit the page.
    Firefox will now NOT try to reload websites after a crash.

  • Does the iPhone play animated GIFs?

    Hi,
    Does the iPhone play animated GIFs? Sorry for asking such a basic question but I can't seem to find the answer on the web or within this forum.
    Also how do you implement it into your code? Do you need to use a UIWebView or can you just declare it like a regular png or jpg (e.g. UIImage *image = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"photo.gif"])
    Thanks for any help.

    you can play gif in webView ,just the same way you load a jpeg or png..
    NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"santa" ofType:@"gif"];
    NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path isDirectory:NO];
    /* Load the request. */
    [myWebView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url]];
    the gif that is locally saved will be loaded.

  • How combine a jpeg image & animated gif image & save  it as GIF ?

    i have an jpeg image, & also aminated gif image, how do i place the animated gif image over (in the center of the image) a jpeg image & save it as gif file ??

    First thing you need to do is stop thinking in terms of file formats once the files are in photoshop they are all the same. The exception being vector vs raster. But in this instance the process is rteally the same so 6 on one hand a half a dozen on the other. Or as some would say Tomatoe, tomahtoe(mispelled on purpose).
    The jpeg I would assume is the background image and the gif image is the fore ground object. Open the jpeg, and then place the gif file. As long as the fore ground object has transparency, your job is pretty much done. If not, then it will be up to you to mask what you want to keep vs what you don't and apply that selection to the foregrounds layer as a mask.
    Google the net or skim the users manual for the keywords - mask, selections, quickmask, pen tool, paths. Each of these can in one way or another take care of your issue.
    It would be worth your time to also go through the numerous videos about photoshop and see how its done.
    Either go to adobe tv,
    Itunes podcasts
    or one of the following web sites:

  • How do I export an animated GIF from Premiere CC?

    How do I export an animated GIF from Premiere CC?
    I dont see an Animated codec option

    Hi Nick
    Believe me I STARTED there.
    I wouldnt post this message if I didnt try there first.
    I do not see Animated GIF as a codec option.
    Please walk me through the step by step process of how you got this.
    Because it is not as obvious as you're making it out to be.
    Further more perhaps a certain format has to be selected for Animated GIF options to appear?
    YES I AM ON CC version too. thanks!

  • How do I stop getting aclk (GIF image,1x1 pixels) when selecting some pages

    == This happened ==

    It is Kaspersky that is doing that. It intercepts the content and passes that image to Firefox instead of the real content. You should complain on the Kaspersky forum about this if you disagree with the decision made by Kaspersky to send such an image in this case.
    You can look at Adblock Plus instead.

  • Is there a way to have one flash player play all moives on a web page ?

    Hi,
      Is there a way to have one flash player play all movies on a web page ?   For example, you have a list of FLV movies on a page and you click on any them and it will play on the same player on the web page. Or does each movie needs it's own ?
    Thanks in advance..
    Peter

    Yes, for the design I made, the movies are loaded from the server.  Here is the code for the design.  It is done using AS2, and the stage includes two buttons (s1, s2) for playing the individual videos, one button to play them both (playall), one after the other, and the video object (video1_video) that was added via small menu you find at the top of the library panel's frame.
    I cannot say this would work directly for your implementation, but it gives you some things you can look into so that you can figure out how.
    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    // ignore whatever code is above this... the forum added it, not me  
    stop();
    ncount = -1;
    var connection_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
    connection_nc.connect(null);
    var stream_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(connection_nc);
    stream_ns.setBufferTime(3);
    stream_ns.onStatus = function(infoObject:Object) {
            for (var prop in infoObject) {
                   if(infoObject[prop] == "NetStream.Play.Stop" && ncount == 0){
                       video1_video.attachVideo(stream_ns);
                       stream_ns.play("20051210-w50s.flv");
                       ncount += 1;
    playall.onRelease = function(){
          ncount = 0;
          video1_video.attachVideo(stream_ns);
          stream_ns.play("barsandtone.flv");
    s1.onRelease = function(){
          video1_video.attachVideo(stream_ns);
          stream_ns.play("barsandtone.flv");
    s2.onRelease = function(){
          ncount = -1;
          video1_video.attachVideo(stream_ns);
          stream_ns.play("20051210-w50s.flv");
    I don't deal with video very often, so I have not created an AS3 version of this.

  • How do I stop the animation at a certain point after it has played part of it on a click?

    I seem to be missing some key html knowledge on this! I have a drop down menu and when I click on the text on the navigation bar, I want an animation to occur (the menu to drop down) and then I want it to stop.
    Here is the relevant code:
          Symbol.bindElementAction(compId, symbolName, "${_FishingTrigger}", "click", function(sym, e) {
             // Navigate to a new URL in the current window
             // (replace "_self" with appropriate target attribute for a new window)
             window.open("http://www.theriveroverlook.com/Packages/Fishing", "_self");
             // insert code for mouse click here
          //Edge binding end
          Symbol.bindElementAction(compId, symbolName, "${_CookingTrigger}", "click", function(sym, e) {
             // Navigate to a new URL in the current window
             // (replace "_self" with appropriate target attribute for a new window)
             window.open("http://www.theriveroverlook.com/Packages/Cooking", "_self");
             // insert code for mouse click here
          //Edge binding end
          Symbol.bindElementAction(compId, symbolName, "${_PhotographersTrigger}", "click", function(sym, e) {
             // Navigate to a new URL in the current window
             // (replace "_self" with appropriate target attribute for a new window)
             window.open("http://www.theriveroverlook.com/Packages/Photographer", "_self");
             // insert code for mouse click here
          //Edge binding end
          Symbol.bindElementAction(compId, symbolName, "${_GolfTrigger}", "click", function(sym, e) {
             // Navigate to a new URL in the current window
             // (replace "_self" with appropriate target attribute for a new window)
             window.open("http://www.theriveroverlook.com/Packages/Golf", "_self");
             // insert code for mouse click here
          //Edge binding end
          Symbol.bindElementAction(compId, symbolName, "${_RomanceTrigger}", "click", function(sym, e) {
             // Navigate to a new URL in the current window
             // (replace "_self" with appropriate target attribute for a new window)
             window.open("http://www.theriveroverlook.com/Packages/Romance", "_self");
             // insert code for mouse click here
          //Edge binding end
    Symbol.bindElementAction(compId, symbolName, "${_Packages}", "click", function(sym, e) {
             // play the timeline from the given position (ms or label)
             sym.play("drop2");
    NOTE: If I put a sym.stop ("stop3); here after the play, it stops the animation before it even starts.

    My assumption is you are laying down this animation in main timeline (stage). It starts in frame "label=drop2" and it continues until frame "stop3". Maybe this one helps:
    - scroll to the last frame of the animation. "stop3" i assume.
    - Create a "Trigger Action" (the code window)
    - Call the sym.stop() to stop the animation at this frame.

  • How to make my 'preload' animated gif to repeat?

    I have my 'preload' animated gif in my psd file.

    I am using Photoshop CS5.

    Actually, you can. There is a Looping Option that you can set.. either ONCE or FOREVER.
    Just FYI.
