    Obviously, click OK.

    The finished string of code will look like this:

    Enjoy!

    The problem is YouTube uses a slightly different link format with Shorts. P-F doesn't recognize the format as a valid YouTube link so doesn't embed it.

    For Shorts use this link:

    https://youtu.be/ with the video ID from the original link pasted right after that last forward slash.

    For instance in the link you posted:

    http://youtube.com/shorts/ZJIrdTI_KM...dpX2Vgo1buPzBF

    ZJIrdTI_KMQ (the bit after the forward slash and before the question mark) is the video ID to add to the end of the link.



    Hope that helps!

    Disregard, was NoScript setting I missed because it didn't impact anything else.



    Wondering if someone can tell me why that menu for embedding videos etc disappeared for me?

    I am using FireFox with a few extensions but had to do a restore of FF to fix something else recently and suspect I need to tweak NoScript but don't recall having to do that before.

    So wondering if there is a toggle somewhere for PF user settings I am forgetting that I need to switch.
