<p>I still don't know why the video doesn't play for you automatically or when you click the black area.

But that would mean saving the file and sending it to EZGIF for conversion, and I honestly would prefer avoiding the hassle. There has to be an easier way, but it seems like Twitter will never accommodate for Firefox users.
</p><p>On a side note: I tried Opera, and it too was hampered by the same Twitter bug. I refuse to do Chrome because the last time I tried using that app, my computer crashed.

It sounds as though you get the "video" menu even when the video won't play? I don't know why it won't play; possibly some anti-autoplay feature is kicking in. But if you do get the video menu, hopefully you have Copy Video Location for the workaround.

</p><p>I know for a fact neither of the plugins are at fault. I loaded Firefox in Safe Mode prior to submitting this post, and the same problems occurred even with Safe Mode.

</p><p>I don't think the GIF/video should be black in Firefox in the first place. That's odd.

</p><p>If not, well, maybe we can solve the video not playing issue.
