Added image is Google+ Alerts area on YouTube reporting no alerts while other browsers are, as well as not opening / showing alerts at all.

Regardless of all add-ons being enabled or not, this is happening all the time.

Updated. It seems disabling hardware acceleration removed the odd button-looking effect from the icon and from a few other areas of the website (Including likes and dislikes) but the issue still remains. Clearing my cookies and cache had no effect.
