How Can I Block Mouseover and Hover Effects?

Animation triggers my migraines.

Many, many, many websites trigger zooming animation on mouseover. I can reduce the frame rate to help deanimate this, but I would rather not animate it at all.

On the whole, I think it'd be easier to block all these effects. How can I do that in Firefox?

I'd prefer to still see where links would lead without clicking on them. And I'd prefer to get tooltips working, but I increase mouse cursor sizes, so they're already broken.

For reducing animations, enter about:config in the address bar and set ui.prefersReducedMotion = 1. However, it won't disable everything of that. For disabling website animations, you need an addon, for instance Disable Transitions or Togglific.

I already do that, it doesn't do nearly half enough to deal with increasingly-standard web design (animation, non-scrolling or separately-scrolling sidebars, animated headers, non-scrolling nav elements, animation on mouseover, animated scrolling, animated zooming, animated marquee text, etc.); I've had to find other solutions for each.
