Yes, during the past two hours reports have flooded in. We think Google did an update but we don't have a fix yet.
One potential workaround is to search YouTube from Firefox's address bar or optional short search bar. To add YouTube as a search engine, while you are on the site, click the Page Actions menu button (•••) near the right end of the address bar and click "Add Search Engine." You make make it more convenient to use by adding a shortcut (or "keyword") on the Options page. For example, in the first attached screenshot, I've assigned y. Then I can search YouTube by typing y and a space in the address bar, as shown in the second screenshot.
However users also reporting problems typing in comments, so if you are heavy commenter, you might just need to take a break from YouTube in Firefox for a few hours until we have clarity on what's going on.
