maybe there is problem with your setup? because i do use youtube on firefox without a problem (+ublock and +vpn) and i don't see advertisement. though, of course my main gate to youtube is FreeTube.

Probably some form of A/B testing. I used to say the same thing, but specific channels and specific live-streams will now die every 30 seconds using FF+uBlock. I found they appear to do testing on channels they do not like such as those that complain about YT's policy and other channels for reasons I shall not speak of here.

I also use ublock + vpn. Do a quick Google search for "reddit + firefox + youtube not working", you'll see that strings are getting posted much more frequently over the past six months.
