Firefox already has the video player control interface for gifs; you just have to right-click.

HTTPS is unnecessary for this site.

And do what? I'm using (latest stable) FF but nothing in the right click menu seems to allow me to control playback.

A: HTTPS prevents your website from being defaced

B: I care about protecting the privacy of which websites and web pages I visit - even if you don't

C: The website hosts the author's PGP key

D: The more internet data is encrypted, the less encrypted data stands out. I.e., if you only encrypt data when it's important nobody listen, everyone can tell when you're doing something you don't want anyone to hear. If you encrypt data all the time, nobody can tell "secret" from "normal".

This! ^^^ (I know I should have something substantial to add, so: Everybody hear this, this is the reason for HTTPS Everywhere, all communications encrypted by default in all possible channels 24/7/365.)

> B: I care about protecting the privacy of which websites and web pages I visit - even if you don't

Then use a VPN and/or Tor and stop wailing on the author for no good reason.

Can you explain how either of those would "protect the privacy of which websites and web pages I visit"?

The Great Cannon enjoys your continued support.
