Doesn't work on Imgur gifv links? #238

When hovering over a .gifv link, TZP is requesting a .webm instead. Normally Imgur redirects these requests to the gifv image, but for TZP's requests Imgur returns a 404.

Edit - looks like it works on some links but not others. For example, it doesn't work on https://www.reddit.com/4pbw99/

Yes, it looks like imgur.com changed their site and broke the ability for TZP to show pop-ups for gifv's. Imgur.com used to provide a corresponding webm when TZP changed .gifv to .webm. TZP did that since webm was a codec (format) which Firefox can show in a pop-up; gifv isn't. But now imgur.com doesn't provide webm format anymore; it just redirects to .gifv.

I may have to have it show .gif instead of .gifv or .webm, which would be unfortunate since it'd use more network bandwidth.

I will soon prevent TZP from even trying to show pop-ups for gifv's (so at least we won't see an error icon).
