Updating an old computer and Firefox isn't running GIFS. It goes straight to the page on Imgur, but the GIF does not load.

Thanks!

Are those GIFs animated GIFs?

Animated GIFs are probably MP4 files and Windows XP doesn't support these media files natively.

You can try whether the solution posted here to add support for playing MP4 files works for you.

That's part of the problem, you guys should ditch such a stone age system :)

I believe cor-el might be right, anyway.
