So I broke something in about:config

Post by BoogaHead »

I was trying to turn off auto gifs on FB, and I did something in about:config related to animations, now its great no auto play gifs on FB, now I can't watch videos either :(

Those animated GIF images are likely MP4 files (GIFV), so you need to check the media prefs.

Where would I do that? The only thing ive changed is in about:config I deleted this from a string I don't know if this caused it.

Edited for Margin Rape sorry could not make it be nice.

Youtube now also auto animating thumbs the internets seems lost for now, my stuff works again after a full system flush. You just seem to no longer be able to have an internet you like, it has to be what someone else wants.

How do I stop the facebook gifs loading in a loop other than clicking them to stop them? image.animation.mode is set to once it does nothing.
