Why? Sometimes it's good to work out 'why', take a step back, and solve the real problem. – Joe Feb 02 '11 at 14:31

You could create a thumbnail that is just the first frame (non-animated), then put a download link next to it to download the animated version. Any solution is going to be a workaround though; you can't tell the web browser to not animate animated GIFs.
