For whatever reason now when I have Ublock enabled every page on YouTube loads twice, and playlists are completely unusable as they reload indefinitely. If I disable Ublock this stops. Every other site seems to be just fine.

    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.
