<Greg> Firefox intentionally disabled the ability to stop animated gifs in

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=825486. Insert insulting term
here.

<Greg> Matthias Versen [:Matti] 2012-12-29 23:18:18 PST The is a intended
change from bug 614304: "ESC is now the same as hitting the stop button and
the stop button doesn't stop animated images"

<Greg> "More precisely, Esc now only has an effect when the stop button is
visible. The stop button is only visible while the main page is loading."

<Greg> "I created this ticket, but after reading the explanations I
understand the reasoning behind the change. More often, people are going to
be using web-based apps that want to trap the Escape key, and the old
functionality breaks the page as soon as Escape is hit. We can't have
Escape acting differently, because it violates the Law of Least
Astonishment."
