I had to turn off blocking for Facebook in order to be able to manually play animated GIFs on Facebook.

Probably related to one of the other bugs. Could you provide a link?

FYI, if the extension blocks it, it's almost always HTML5 video. Calling silent HTML5 videos a GIF or animated GIF is a misnomer. Here's an example of a real animated GIF

Hi, confirm facebook bug. Try videos on this page: https://www.facebook.com/smiesznekoty (should be available without logging to fb). Indeed, the problem is with videos marked with "gif" circle in center, which are actually HTML5 videos

Okay, I can confirm now too.

Same problem for me, gifv links on Facebook are not working, but I think it's the same issue as #96
