YouTube's search filters are missing when I use Firefox, but they work when I use Chrome. Is anyone else having a similar problem? (The images show the working Chrome site.)

I see similar buttons to those in your screenshots when I check these pages:

I figured it out! I'm using AdBlock Plus on my Firefox browser, and for some reason, those YouTube filters are being "hidden" or eliminated as if they were ads.

It's possible there are some text strings in the URLs that match one of their filters. You may need to check on their forums on how to adjust the filters (or maybe they will update them).
