firefox recently crashed, and upon restarting it, nothing had changed, except for the fact that a parsing error now pops up whenever i open a youtube video. this parsing error blocks part of the video, and i couldn't find anything about this anywhere else! i can't figure out how to remove this, i've tried entirely disabling picture-in-picture mode (assuming that's what's causing the issue, as it's mentioned in the error) but it didn't work.
