When forwarding links, some are corrupted...
When I forward some links, rather than taking the recipient to the specific YouTube page, the link takes them to the YouTube home page. Other sites I can still forward correctly. I have researched this issue and except for a virus that affected Firefox a few years back, I have found nothing. I have run spyware, malware, and virusware with no change.
Is this a YouTube issue? Another form of Big Tech censorship? Anyone else out there having issues like this?
I finally put FireFox in the garbage can in my iMac (Big Sur 11.5.1) and flushed it and then downloaded a new copy. No difference. I deleted all my cookies per the Firefox suggested repair page. Why would a specific site generate these forward issues? Just for giggles, I tried a forward in Safari (which I never otherwise use) and the links work correctly.
I have been a Firefox supporter from the very beginning and hate to swap browsers. Thank you to all the wonderful code writers and tech support volunteers out there who make this effort possible.

You can possibly add your own email to the BCC field to check out what is send and possibly try to open the link in a PB mode window.
Note that this can happen in case you need to authenticate to access a page (i.e. you do not have permission to access the page). It is also possible that security software is truncating the link making it invalid (not found).
Sorry, a737. I thought I had replied. I found nothing wrong with the links you sent me.
Thanks for all your suggestions and effort. When I send myself a forward off YouTube, I also get a link that takes me to the home page. Other web sites do not have this issue. If it were a permissions issue, the problem would be manifest across all forwards, wouldn't it?
I have turned my Avira Malware off and get the same results. Yet, no issues on Safari. Maybe it's a "sign."
Thanks again.
