Whenever I try to watch YouTube Shorts on Pale Moon, they look like this now:
The three dots where I can pull down my menu options, the like and dislike buttons, the comments... They're all gone. It's just the video and basic volume options.
Here's a sample short, if you need to try it yourself.
I'm not having this issue when watching YT Shorts on other browsers, and restarting in Safe Mode made no difference. Any idea what the problem could be?

I see them fine on your link. Try with a clean profile?

Works on my machine too. Granted, it took a bit before everything loaded, but it's there.
