New Youtube Bug

[XT-8147]

Played around with the page a bit in the inspector, came up with the following user style that fixes it.

Code: Select all

@namespace url("http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml");

@-moz-document url-prefix("https://www.youtube.com/watch") {
  /* Edit this value to your desired side margin size! */
  :root {
    --side-margin-width: 50px;
  }
  /* For best results, don't change anything below. */
  #page.watch .content-alignment {
    max-width: 100% !important;
  }
  #page {
    margin-left: var(--side-margin-width) !important;
    margin-right: var(--side-margin-width) !important;
  }
}

Well, if some of you are going to wait for Alphabet (Google's parent company) to fix the problem, I think you'll evenutally find that will not ever happen. However, for the brave souls amongst you who are feeling adventurous, below are the override codes I use for YouTube in both linux and windows Pale Moon (28.0.0). The codes below will give you the "new" interface, NOT the classic interface.

For 64 bit linux Pale Moon users:

Code: Select all

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:61.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/61.0 (Pale Moon)

For 64 bit Windows 7 users:

Code: Select all

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:61.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/61.0 (Pale Moon)

Remember this, there is no guarantee this will work on your computers so use the above codes at your own risk. If there is going to be a problem, I imagine it will be with a laptop computer. Like I said before, I have 4 computers (2 desktop towers, 2 laptops) with a total of 9 hard drives comprising 5 linux Mint 19 hard drives and 4 Windows 7 hard drives. None of them have a problem with the new YouTube interface using Pale Moon (28.0.0).

I also started experiencing the video shift after the update to 28, but I think it truly is a coincidence. I have two computers and one is still on 27.9.4 that was never updated to 28 and it's doing it too. It seems to be related to the window size. If I shrink the window horizontally I can make the video window shift to the left until it's back in the proper place. It's definitely some miscalculation in the web page.

Just like Nigaikaze, I've been using unstable Pale Moon 28 for quite a while and just noticed this problem this afternoon.

This is a problem on Youtube's side. They are anchoring the video to the wrong window edge in their layout (right edge) which is a mistake with their "responsive layout" of the website.

I suggest people use the help/feedback form on youtube to report this to them.

As a workaround you can make your window less wide to "slide" the video back into its proper place.

Quick greasemonkey fix here, until Google fixes it on their end...

I've seen a few reports of this same behavior in Chrome and Firefox, so I can only assume that it isn't specific to Pale Moon.

As of today, I'm also getting this weird display on the latest Firefox Quantum, v61.0.2, using the YouTube Classic extension. So no, it's not specific to Pale Moon.

Thanks. It works.

Happened to me once using chrome but after update it was fixed.

Adjusting the zoom (zooming in a couple of ticks) actually solved it for me.

I had modified the browser's zoom values, so many of the zoom steps are closer together than the default.
(probably made it easier to find a good new zoom level, and not be limited to settings that zoomed either too far in or too far out.)

This works too, in fact better.
Thank you.

I'm not sure if this happened for anyone else, but the YouTube issue seems to have just...mostly disappeared.

[Moonchild]

Confirmed they seem to have fixed it.

[dookie]

Great... it was Google/Youtube after all. Confirmed fixed after resetting useragent config setting back to PM default.

[NovaDelta]

Case Closed, problem solved. Thanks to all!

[architeuthis96]

YouTube and other video won't play since I installed Pale Moon 28.0.0 (64-bit). Issue remains in safe mode.

I do say these things for a reason, you know?

Please start a new thread for your problem, and include the details about your system requested here:

I wasn't really doubting it was the website after everyone replied about the timing and especially after the greasemonkey fix. Thanks anyway.

Try removing the status bar temporarily and see if you notice a change and if you like the way Youtube looks then.

This is how mine looks:

I set status bar as popup to create more space for screen otherwise it gets mashed like yours. I find I can use the menu bar or regular PM menu thing (doesn't matter they seem to have same effect) and always show tab bar and navigation bar. Any more toolbars gives me mashed youtube. This is on my normal resolution 1366 x 768 laptop. Firefox and other browsers behave similarly as I recall.

See example (here I have menu bar, navigation bar, always show tab bar, no status bar -pop up):

I add another toolbar (status bar) and I get smaller, squished youtube:

For me its easiest to just toss the status bar and use a popup (status bar preferences) to briefly show various network/site statuses to keep YT videos looking the way I like them and how I am used to them.

For the record it fixed itself for me updating to 28 (don't like that I have to use an add-on to restore the quickdial to how it was in 27). But haven't done much resizing which someone said may cause the issue, I hope that doesn't happen.
