17. Hard to pinpoint this one

I can't reproduce what you're seeing in Firefox. Video embeds and the My Notes button look normal.

If you're using content blockers then there's always a chance they could mess up the layout in a way that isn't intended. However, that would potentially only affect layout issues (like getting a small embed window instead of the correctly sized version).

When it comes to the NoScript blocks and having to reload the page to see the video, that doesn't sound like a layout issue. When you open a thread with an embedded video, the video is loaded into your browser directly from the source (YouTube) in an iframe. Inside that iframe is YouTube content, not DU content, so if you're getting errors at that point it's most likely to do with the way your browser configuration is handling the direct connection between your browser and YouTube.

But like I said, unfortunately this kind of thing is difficult to pinpoint, because we can't account for all the different browser extensions and custom configurations that people use when they're browsing the Internet.
