Unable to watch age restricted videos on Youtube with Firefox
As of a month or so ago I have been unable to watch age restricted videos on YT. The warning prompt appears asking me to verify that I want to proceed. When clicked, it simply takes me back to the YT home page. Restricted mode is set to off and I am able to watch these videos in Internet Explorer with the same Google account. I have also ran FF in safe mode and it still takes me back to the home page.

Could you clear your YouTube cookies and see whether that flushes whatever is causing this:
While viewing a page on the site, click the lock icon at the left end of the address bar. After a moment, a "Clear Cookies and Site Data" button should appear at the bottom. Go ahead and click that. Firefox will ask you to confirm; go ahead and confirm.
Then try loading YouTube in a new tab. Does that help?
(I'm assuming this would be stored in a YouTube cookies and not a Google cookie, but if needed, you could repeat the test while on a Google site.)

Unfortunately neither had any effect.
Please provide few example videos.

Just tried and it did not.
