1. Are you using a Firewall?

If so, which one? ZoneAlarm, for example, has an option that disables animated gifs. Other security software can create the same issue.

3. There are browser settings for that.
For example, in Mozilla:

Edit->Preferences->Privacy&Security->Images->"Animated images should loop"
