This link (and some others on youtube)open a "script page" instead of a Youtube page with video. Sometimes, the link open the right page but most of cases, it shows just strange characters.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. copy paste the link on adress bar
2. press enter
3.
Actual Results:  
strange characters page

Expected Results:  
youtube page with video

This works fine for me. Maybe caused by a changed setting, or by an add-on? Please try the troubleshooting steps here:
