For the last 2 days YT is being mean to me Im getting a LOT of failures to load a video or the page . Sometimes I get half the page ...like I can see the video thumbnail but everything is is white or blank. And I cant start the video. I cant refresh the page or anything. The only thing to do is copy the url and close that tab and open a new tab and paste the url in and try. Usually that works. Sometimes still not. Its weird. Sometimes I middle click the youtube logo to open a new yt tab but it fails too.
I 'think' its youtube itself as nothing else is a problem anywhere. But it might be Firefox for all I know.

Today I was clicking on a video and the sound would start playing but it would show me the channels "Shorts" tab - no video, just the list of available shorts. Had to do the URL paste thing to get it to play. Very odd.
Most of my YouTube-viewing is done via the privacy-friendly FreeTube client, which still works fine for me:

What is FreeTube?
FreeTube is a YouTube client for Windows, Mac, and Linux built around using YouTube more privately. You can enjoy your favorite content and creators without your habits being tracked. All of your user data is stored locally and never sent or published to the internet. FreeTube grabs data by scraping the information it needs (with either local methods or by optionally utilizing the Invidious API). With many features similar to YouTube, FreeTube has become one of the best methods to watch YouTube privately on desktop.
