      I’m getting the pop-up, which I can click to close and watch videos on my FF + Ublock.

            Then try ro disable all other extensions that manipulate Youtube that could cause the Message to still appear.

              Uninstalled FF and reinstalled, that worked. Interestingly I do not have this issue on my dualboot Ubuntu FF.
