As the title says, giphy videos and the like no longer autoplays while I'm browsing reddit which is very annoying. This works on my work computer running windows 7 with synchronized ff settings, but on my home computers with windows 10 and firefox they run for a split second before pausing. I've tried fiddling with autoplay settings in about:config to no avail, and I've turned all my plugins off to no avail.

If you see the auto-play block icon at the left end of the location/address bar then you can click this icon to enable auto-play.
