Gibberish code on youtube site?????
I have been trying to get on YouTube but when I open the page all I see is "@��?L�" all over the page! I have tried everything including the about:config thing. Maybe I'm doing that wrong? I tried restarting, changing setting everything!! YouTube does work on Internet explorer though... but I want my Firefox to work! Can someone please help me asap. Thank you so much.

Hi
Firefox 44+ accepts a new kind of encoding (compression) called Brotli (br) for secure connections. Websites like Facebook and YouTube have enabled Brotli (br) encoding for files send via a secure connection. Some (security) software that intercepts a secure connection to scan the content doesn't know about this encoding and changes the content-type header to text/plain. A possible workaround is to modify the involved pref and remove the trailing ", br" to prevent the server from sending files with Brotli compression.
- network.http.accept-encoding.secure = "gzip, deflate, br" => "gzip, deflate" (without quotes)
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
