Attached video YouTube redirection

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:89.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/89.0

Steps to reproduce:

I was looking for a video to watch in my YouTube Recommendations.

Actual results:

After clicking on a video and before it started to play, YouTube redirected me to the other link of the YouTube post by the other channel.

Expected results:

The video should have started to play.

It also happens when clicking on a video from Search as seen in the attachment.
MacOS 11.2.3.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Audio/Video: Playback' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

Component: Untriaged → Audio/Video: Playback
Product: Firefox → Core

There are many open old bugs with "YouTube" in their titles, which makes it hard for users facing problems to find relevant reports.

Since this was likely a temporary YouTube bug and there have been no further reports about this, I believe this Bugzilla issue can be closed as "Incomplete" now.
