New window in Firefox
A second window has started opening when I'm using Youtube. It is very annoying & only happens in Firefox. How do I get rid of it?

Is the problem only with YouTube? What about other sites? Are you using a short-cut to get to YouTube?
What is in the unwanted window?
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Appearance
- do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window

You can also check for malware.
So far, it's only on the YouTube subscription page. It doesn't happen in Chrome or Edge. When I finish watching a video and go to the subscription page, the video I stopped watching continues playing in this new window. I've turned off notifications and pop ups, restarted Firefox and my computer, but the window is still there.
