Can you try it on Developer Edition, since that's what I'm using?

i've also tested on developer edition with the same result.

note that developer edition and regular firefox both use the same user agent string, and are very similar so it's very unlikely that would make a difference.

could be a change on reddit's side, i also get the .gif now
