What was the reason that made the hypothetical 90% go for Firefox in the first place? This seems like the kind of feature one would expect when installing Firefox.

Mobile addons, privacy respecting defaults, not wanting you to be logged into a Google account all the time?

I don't think "makes imgur gifs stop playing" is going to attract more users than it drives away. By all means have that as an option, but it'd be a terrible default experience.
