YouTube Dropping Support for Firefox?
YouTube indicates that my browser is obsolete and I should update or replace it. I am using an iPad and Firefox for iOS.
One of the links YouTube offered is the Firefox link.
I updated to Firefox for iOS version 24.1 (17574) and tried again, but still got the same message that my browser is obsolete and will soon be unsupported or dropped.
Is this a version issue, a licensing issue between Firefox and google, an add-in, or something else?
Thanks.

This is an issue of their useragent spoofer.
Does that mean it's a bogus message?
They (Google/Youtube) can't recognize that you have the latest version of your browser (irefox for iOS version 24.1).
So the message is real, obviously; but it shoud be presented only for Firefox for Windows users with versions below 50.
“spoofer” doesn’t help us if we are prevented from using YouTube.
What setting needs to be changed?

Your replies gave useful. info. I am still unclear, though, about what to do/how to remedy Youtube/google not recognizing that one already DOES have the latest update. Also, within youtube w/the spoof (?) message, I cannot use fullscreen selection--"b/c your browser doesn't support it, b/c you need to update to latest version." Thanks for your help.
