Previously, you could right click & copy an animated GIF from one site, and paste it into the comment field on another site. This would paste the full animated GIF into that comment section. It worked on all forums that support animated GIFs in comments.

It was very convenient to only have to copy a GIF, instead of having to manually save it in some folder, select upload image from computer, manually navigate to that folder, upload the GIF, open windows explorer, manually navigate to that GIF, delete that GIF.

Since 146.0 that no longer works on any site.

All you paste is a still image, taken the moment you right clicked the animated gif.
