Recently, I noticed that when I attempt to "share" a YouTube video and click the share button, I get no embed codes. In fact I get no options at all. And, when I tried to share a YouTube playlist, again, nothing happens except an apparent text box opens that I cannot type or enter anything into. I use a Macbook Pro at work, with Firefox as my browser and everything works just as it should on YouTube. Since this is a quite recent problem with my Dell desktop (Firefox browser) at home, I suspect something has changed resulting in my current issue. Thanks for any help!

YouTube Content Creators have the ability to disable embedding if they wish to keep their videos on YouTube only. This is most likely what has occurred and is more than likely not an issue with Firefox itself.

Let us know if this helped.

Well, as I stated above, I can embed a certain video on my Macbook and then when I try to embed the exact same video on my Dell desktop, there are no embed codes or other sharing options. Would the embedding be disabled only on my desktop and not on the laptop Macbook? That doesn't seem right. Thanks for the help, Gary

Here are the links to some knowledge base articles that might be able to assist you with this issue. I recommend you try this on your machine that doesn't get embed codes.

When I restarted Firefox in safe mode, my YouTube issues were solved. Back normal Firefox mode, they are still there. What next?

You need to determine what addons is causing the problem.

After I updated AdBlockPlus, the problem disappeared! I thought it was set to update automatically, but it had not updated since July 2014. After the update, no more problems with YouTube. Thank you so much for your great help and patience too. Gary Brantley
