Comment (by arma):

 Step one here is to try to separate (a) browser functionality breakage,
 which can be fixed by changing the browser, from (b) youtube refusing to
 serve certain content or certain pages or certain resources to Tor users.

 That second one has been an issue lately -- youtube thinks that users from
 the Tor network are crawling it too much, or asking it hard questions, or
 whatever they're doing, and it responds with 403 answers to some
 questions, which will definitely break functionality.
