Suddenly today my YouTube videos have a popout irritation that blocks part of my page. Why?

How could any sane company do this? There seems to be no "popout" option anywhere except in about:config and its set to false. If I set it to true it doesn't make any difference. It blocks the screen. We all hate these things but clueless software developers don't realize what they're doing.

Firefox has a limited blocker but popups from sites are from the sites not Firefox. And since no URL was provide no one else can know what is going on with what URL at YouTube your using.

Oh please? URL? How about 5 billion YouTube videos? Or is there more now? Every single one! It just started with the update yesterday. I see no improvements and about 20 things worse. Thanks Mozilla.

I did notice an "Old Firefox Data" folder on my desktop. I have no clue what to do with it. A software designer with even a 2 digit IQ would think to put a GUIDE somewhere in there like "READ THIS FIRST" or "READ THIS TO RESET YOUR SETTINGS AND ADD-ONS". Why are there so many morons in software and web design? They make our lives a living hell because of their non-thinking decisions that completely lack any resemblance to common sense.
