My browser no longer does animated images, how do I re-enable them?

[strategery blunder]

I'm talking about stuff like the blinking :eyes: and such.

I use the latest version of Firefox, and the animations worked fine yesterday. But today, they don't.:shrugs:

1. This MIGHT help, I'm not sure,

I use Mozilla, and it's from the same "family" if you like - so just check the following, and see if your toolbars and settings are in the same place.

In the screen you are looking at right now - Go up to the toolbar at the top, and clik on EDIT.

You should have a choice of PREFERENCES, OPTIONS, or CUSTOMIZE.

Mozilla's is PREFERENCES.

Clik on PREFERENCES.

A window will come up with choices to make. Scroll down under the heading Category to PRIVACY & SECURITY.

Clik on the little + sign, and scroll down to IMAGES

Clik on IMAGES.

You should get a screen that looks like the image below, and selections (the black dots) should be EXACTLY as in this image. If not, change them, then press OK




You might have to restart your Browser before any changes will be made.

Hope this helped

2. I don't have "PREFERENCES, OPTIONS, or CUSTOMIZE" in my Edit menu

or in any menu, for that matter.

Now I'm really confused. The help database wasn't very helpful, either.:shrug:

3. I think someone had a FireWall issue that blocked Animated GIFs.

That might be your problem. Do you use ZA?

[strategery blunder]

4. Yes, but it picked a weird time to start being a problem

One day, I used ZA and the animations worked, the next day, they were disabled. I'll turn off ZA for a moment and see if it works...if it's the problem, I'd rather leave it on. I'd rather not have the DoD trolling for 'suspicious' dissent on DU, heh heh heh.;)

Edit: Yep, that appears to have been the problem. Thanks!:D
