      Hello everyone,

      I have a fresh linux box which comes with chromium as default browser.
      With chromium i can play gifs on facebook and other sites, but on Opera 42.0.2393.94 i can play gifs on all sites but on facebook. It just give me a white box when i click on gif.
      Checked the settings, and its set to play "allow sites to run flash".

      Please help, i don't want to switch browser 😞

        GIFs on Facebook are not really GIFs! They are converted to MP4 videos, as they are much more smaller and bandwidth efficient. Are you able to play H.264/MP4 video here: http://www.quirksmode.org/html5/tests/video.html ? If not please install chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra package that should add support for this codecs.
