On both my linux desktop and my Win7 VM, I'm using Firefox v74.0 (the latest version).
On the Win7 VM, youtube runs without hindrance (other than the fact that they changed their interface).
On the Linux (Mint) host, I get a yellow banner stating that they "will stop supporting this browser soon", and the get the latest version. Also, the youtube home page doesn't show some of the thumbnails, and there doesn't seem to be any rhyme/reason as to which thumbnails won't be displayed.
Since I'm running the latest version of FireFox, I can only assume they mean that they won't support FireFox on Linux. I say this because I don't get the message in Chromium (open source version of chrome).
Just to be sure, I fired up my Lubuntu VM, and I get the same behavior - Firefox displays the banner, chromium does not. Again, the Windows VM doesn't display the banner either.

I actually tried to set it to chrome, and when I did that, CodeProject stopped showing me controls that let me start/reply to messages, and a couple of other sites refused to let me browse to them because I was violating some sort of security protocol that doesn't like spoofed user agent strings. That was really weird, so I undid that.

I don't have FF on a Linux installation, but have you tried using Enhancer for YouTube[^]?
It overrides a lot of the youtube crud, and it comes up in add-on searches set for Linux OS.

For the life of me, I can't find a way to download/install it...

OK, so I didn't have a machine with Mint, but I still had a windows machine that I was happy to write over, so I downloaded a mint ISO, which, because everyone in the US hadn't yet had the common decency to go to bed and leave some bandwidth for the rest of us, ran at +/-40kbs.
The good news: During the (subjective) three months it took to download, the latest episode of the Best TV Show Ever* became available, so I watched that for part of the time that I had to wait.
The bad news: The &^%#& 4%^&(()& &%#%&* downloaded ISO was corrupt.
So, "bollocks", I thought, and went for sudo snap install firefox and make it bloody snappy because I'm getting pissed off with all the waiting!
The good news: It seems that the plug-in can be added to FF, straight from the web-site[^] (so it might be that my sending you the address from a windows VM messed up the link).
The bad news: I didn't get the pop-up when I opened youtube, so it might be a configuration thing.

Oh, and my FF user-agent string is:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:72.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/72.0

I used to get the "stop supporting" popup too on Pale Moon (firefox offshoot)
try the following
general.useragent.override.yahoo.com
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:62.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/62.0 (Pale Moon)
you may want to change the (Pale Moon) to Firefox
I just found this googling around... it did get rid of the message (but changed the layout to the more "modern" version) - dun care, on pale moon only use subscriptions, for junk random youtubes I use crome.)

I got the "will stop supporting this browser soon" message on Chrome - but it's running on Windows XP so it probably is an older version! 
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Not here, version 74. Mint 19.2 host and Mint 19.3 VM are fine. Don't run FF on my W VM's.

That looks a lot like an ad.
Regular face-masks are encouraged, not to protect the wearer; it limits spreading if the wearer is infected.

PP1, PP2, and PP3 are standards for masks. PPEs were a con sold by unscrupulous financial services.

That's the one: a lot of people were oversold their Pixels Per Inch with the guarantee on their new monitor, but when you tried to claim the missing pixels, they found they never really existed.
The monitor manufacturers had to set up a massive (more than 44 billion RGB values) fund to reimburse customers, and a load of legal firms saw a profit. For a couple of years, nearly every TV advert seemed to be for PPI overselling with a legal firms contact number.
Fortunately, the Pixels Per Inch Scandle has reached it's legally mandated duration, and now all we get are Government Coronavirus ads and funeral insurance.

My SO yelled from upstairs and asked, "Do you ever get a shooting pain across your body, like someone's got a voodoo doll of you and they're stabbing it?".
Sounding concerned I replied, "No".
She responded, "How about now?"

It's not so much that SO is "evil", but it's such a clique I've stopped bothering to post anything, whether questions or answers.

I have no problem with stack overflow. In fact, when I do search things on google, c# how to do this or that, the answers are almost always on stack overflow.

Yes, it's a good place for answers. The downside is that it's a hangout for puffed-up language lawyers and snotty moderators.
