Does anyone know if You-tube has recently set up some ad-blocker
detection and viewer lock-out? For several years I've been clicking on a
curved 'f' symbol to get the triangle to start viewing clips. (Since
setting some pop-up blocker in firefox, AFAIR) Since January, You-tube
clips have refused to start, no matter how many times I click on the 'f'
- Unless I'm reaching You-tube via another site, such as a link on a
newspaper site. Then it works fine - because they can't see my pop-up
blocker?

It didn't concern me that Vimeo never worked for me, but blocked right
from the first attempt, but You-tube is quite a loss. All other sites
are working fine.

I've been through firefox's about:config, and the only likely item is:

browswer.popups.showPopupBlocker

which is now set to False, but You-tube still locks me out.

I suppose I could do an "apt-get remove --purge firefox", to clear the
config as well ... if I have to. Any ideas?
