I hate autoplaying videos but gifs don't bother me. Unfortunately, the about:config setting is all or nothing. You can turn off both autoplays or turn on both but you can't pick and choose. Whenever there is a gif I want to see, I have to go back into config, toggle the setting, reload the page, then toggle the setting again.

Is there a way to stop just flash and HTML5 videos without bothering images?

Flash block {web link} Never be annoyed by a Flash animation again! Blocks Flash so it won't get in your way, but if you want to see it, just click on it
