Today, Aug. 21, my YouTube link goes to a page format I've never seen before and when I click on Watch Video, it takes me to a page that says

"The address wasn't understood: Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (rtsp) isn't associated with any program or is not allowed in this context."

YouTube plays fine on Chrome, I don't work with Edge or Safari, Firefox is my default but now it can' play YouTube. I found a set of comments in Firefox support that discussed this issue back in March but the most recent response was 5 months ago. I couldn't decode what they were saying, clicked on a few of their links only to get a Error 404.
What's going on?

Hi Michael,

This mailing list is for discussion of activities by the Mozilla
community in the US. The Mozilla Support site is a better place to get
help with Firefox problems.

I recommend posting a new support question, and be sure to include:
* What operating system are you on? (Mac, Windows, or Linux)
* What version of Firefox do you have?
* Does this problem happen with all YouTube videos, or only some of them?
You might also include a link to the discussion you found, and describe
what you don't understand about it.
