Following the most recent Firefox update, embedded videos on forums aren't allowing me to view the YT page via the redirect links.

Here's screenshot detailing the redirects that aren't working. http://s10.postimg.org/dz2oulm49/Untitled.png

If there is still a problem, Start Firefox in Safe Mode
While you are in safe mode;
Firefox Options > Advanced > General.
Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.
Poke around safe web sites and see if there is still a problem. Then restart.

None of that worked, and I've already performed those steps, twice.

Does this also happen if you right-click the player and use "Copy video URL" to copy the URL to the clipboard and open this URL via the location bar?

Did you try while in Safe Mode?

I actually have copied the URL on several occasions. However, I shouldn't have to do that.

Safe Mode had no impact.

So, I assume that it worked when you paste the URL in the location bar?

Did you check the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer) for errors?
