'return' in YouTube on some videos and in Firefox

Whoever thought dark grey text on an even darker grey background is a good choice obviously didn't run the UI changes past a panel of 60-yr-olds and older. :)

As I said earlier, I got 'new Youtube' on my FF without consciously opting in. The 'dark theme' is an option, and mine came with it initially turned off.

Many thanks, Bree. I didn't spend enough time looking at the settings. :)

Discovered something weird and also ONLY in Firefox on YouTube, a small sentence 'return' pops up for one second and then it disappears.

I see the little 'return' deal, too. . .

Just on the "new YouTube" though, and I usually degrade back to the "Old" one, also.

Looks like I'm not the only one... but returning to the old YT did the trick... for now! :) Just waiting what FF 59 brings!

Seems there is no going back to the 'Old YouTube' for playable links any longer.

If you really want the old YouTube try using IE.

If you can't bear the idea of using IE, then use Edge, hit F12 and on the Emulation tab set the 'User agent string' to Internet Explorer 11.

You can add ?disable_polymer=true to any bookmarked parent page, (does not work on a watch page), for the 'Old' look.
