Sometimes functional. Image shifts up off top of screen in full-screen mode, have to disable to see animation. Can't pause on a frame; always pauses on first frame. Image shifts to the left when paused.

All these so called gif pausers are a despicable worthless piece of shite now, because none of them work anymore.

Nice pause/play button overlay on each gif on hover, much better than having to interact with a dropdown menu from the toolbar only to disable all the gifs on a page at once and only after reloading the page! Great for reducing distractions. However, it would be more accurate to say it disables or hides the gif, perhaps just overlays the page/box background color overtop the gif, since it seems to continue to play invisibly rather than actually pausing at a specific frame. Not a huge downside, though in some specific cases it might be nice to be able to pause and play from specific frames, but that might be a limitation of the filetype that would have to be overcome by a not-so-light browser extension!

Is Pause GIFs Safe?
Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
Pause GIFs requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
Pause GIFs is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
