YouTube embeds no longer play in Firefox

Hi there. The past few weeks whenever I try to view any YouTube embed on any website I just get this error and the video does not play: Sign in to confirm that you're not a bot

Of course I am signed in but it does nothing. It works in other web browsers, just not Firefox. I've tried resetting my cache and cookies, private windows, and disabling all extensions but nothing seems to work.

If you lower your Enhanced Tracking Protection settings? Does anything change if you restart into Troubleshoot Mode (from Help menu)?

Thanks. Disabling Enhanced Tracking Protection allowed embedded videos to play now. It's a bit annoying to turn it off on any webpage where I want to view, but it works for now.
