Animated GIF can actually be MP4 files that are played with the HTML5 media player. The fact you see a green block confirms this.

In this case I see a WebM file:

You can check the graphics section on the Help -> Troubleshooting Information page.

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

You can check if there is an update for your graphics display driver and check for hardware acceleration related issues.

Firefox Version 56.0.1 released today or later today. Not surprised you are on Windows 7 and having issues. Lack of Microsoft Support fixes. Some people on Windows 7 having to move to the Extended Release version https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/all/

sorry, was trying to edit my name out of the original post and don't see an edit button anywhere.

The Edit menu entry should be under the Question Tools group that you can expand via the arrow. I've removed you last name for now. You can remove your first name yourself or I can do that if you want.
