Deleted my post

I tried to delete my post and the comments too but it won't  let me.

The movement causes me problems, too. I cover the avatar with my thumb or enlarge the screen where the avatar cannot be seen. Problem solved.

@On It   Yes that's what I do as soon as I see it.

My avatar has slight movement and most people don't even notice it...the diamond sparkles a bit if you enlarge it.

@SilleeMee   Right I never noticed yours. It's only something moving in circles for me.

@simplyfriends   I will say this without a qualm: Get rid of those annoying moving avatars. You only use them to get attention anyway. When I see one, I never read the posts it represents, and I'm inclined to think "here's a childish poster I do not want to read."

These are the instructions to change how gifs (moving avatars) display using FIREFOX on a desktop or laptop.  There should be solutions for other browsers.  Just search for make a gif stop looping in (insert your browser name).

The first thing you need to do is to launch the more advanced configuration screen in Firefox. To do this, launch the browser, and in the address bar type the following command:

about:config

What you need to do next is to search for the parameter that allows you to set up the number of times a GIF animation plays in loop. To do this, in the search bar type this code:

image.animation_mode

By default, you should see that this parameter has the default status and a normal value. This is where you need to make changes.

Adjusting the number of GIF loops in Firefox

There are three different values that you can assign to this setting, as it follows:

normal
once
none

The normal value is the one that is used by default in Firefox, and it means GIF files are played in an infinite loop without coming to an end. The once value is pretty self-explanatory and only plays the GIF file once, after which it’s locked and you need to refresh the page to play it one more time.

And last, it’s the none value which means that GIFs would never play when loading them in Firefox.

To change the value, it’s enough to simply double-click the setting and you’re then prompted to enter the new string. You can always return to the default value at any time using the normal setting.
