Rules
While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.
Rules
-
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity. -
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated. -
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning. -
Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources. -
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate. -
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

IMHO it's just that you had problems with your firefox installation. Probably if you had tried a new profile or reset it using troubleshooting menu it would have been the same.
My reco for OP is to try troubleshooting information to clean your profile.
unfortunately not.
it was a new firefox install on a new machine.
same problem with two full uninstalls and reinstalls, no profile settings to speak of.
whatever the problem is with Firefox(I guess bloat), it wasn't that.
As soon as I installed waterfox, the plugins worked fine.
so it appears to be a problem with Firefox right now, since waterfox responds much more quickly and works fine with plug-ins.
I would infer YouTube blocking Firefox protocols before looking at Firefox profiles as an issue in this case.
