Why can't I right-click a gif and be given a "copy image location" similar to pictures? I can no longer share gifs with friends

In chrome you can right click a gif and choose copy link location or copy image location or a variety of the same sort of option across all web browsers.

For firefox you can only copy image location for still pictures (.jpg, .png) but I am not being given the option to copy the image location of a gif off reddit or a website for example. This means I can no longer share gifs with my friends after changing from chrome. I can't see a reason as to why we wouldn't be able to get the link of a gif to share when we can in every other browser, and we can get the link of images for sharing.

How do I fix this problem

example? Not all site permits you to copy image or links. And since no one knows what site your referring to no one can confirm what your saying.

On reddit. In every other browser you can right click and get the link location for any image/gif except firefox. Firefox only allows getting the link for images.

You can also try to use "Tools -> Page Info -> Media".

What is selected when you right-click the image and open the Inspector?

You can right-click and select "Inspect Element" to open the builtin Inspector with this element selected.
