If you're only using FF for YouTube and you want speed, Chrome would probably be a better choice. If I was only using a browser for watching vids I wouldn't be too fussed about the interface. It's not really relevant in that situation, especially when you go full screen on a video.
Opera is quite nice. Definitely nicer than Chrome IMO. If I didn't have Pale Moon available I could see Opera being my next choice these days.
I don't run many add-ons myself, so Pale Moon is fine for me in that respect. I use Adblock Latitude, Speed Dial, and Hide Title Bar Plus for the basics. The latter is one of my favourites, because it lets me have maximum screen space combined with maximum functionality. It's far better (IMO) than the current FF and Chrome/Opera gui's. Ditto the original Speed Dial add-on. It's streets ahead of the Chrome and Opera versions.
I also run an old build of Stylish (from before it went spyware) for cases where I want to override a site's CSS with custom code. The only other add-ons I use are for dev work (ColorZilla, Web Developer, DOM Inspector, MeasureIt, User Agent Switcher).
And speaking of code, phpBB's javascript on textareas is annoying me. They have some jerky javascript which bounces the size of the thing up when you run out of space. Can't remember where that code came from, but it's an idea I remember from years back. I looked at using it for something, but decided it was too annoying to bother with. It still is. :D
