    Back in the Fall of 2023, I was trying some things to mitigate the infamous YouTube ad-blocker restrictions. Prior to that, I had been using the “Enhancer for YouTube” extension, but later disabled it via “uBlock Origin’s” recommended workaround for the ad-blocker restrictions.

    I was also testing some things with “NoScript”, but found it caused some websites to not load. It’s now disabled as well.

    Luckily, “uBlock Origin” seems to have solved the problem in an update I received in December, I think.

    If you’ve been doing anything like what I just described, try disabling or uninstalling every extension except “uBlock Origin” and make sure you have the latest version. If that doesn’t work, try restoring default settings or disabling/uninstalling uBlock Origin and go from there.

    Otherwise, I suspect you might have a bad cache, but it wouldn’t hurt to go through this list from top to bottom just to be sure you don’t miss something. The article is from 2021, so if the details don’t align with your current version of Firefox, etc, just look up how to do the same thing it recommends, only with updated instructions. https://techwiser.com/fix-youtube-not-working-firefox/
