    Honesty, it looks like an argument to reload the video in 10 seconds or something.

    It's most likely a conflict between the cookies for the browser and the cookies for one of your Chrome extensions. Try clearing all temp files/cookies and reload, then try disabling your extensions one by one while reloading on each try.

    spf = structured page fragments, it's a javascript thingy from google for speeding up responsiveness by only changing the parts of the page the need to be changed.

    https://github.com/youtube/spfjs

    pbj = I'm assuming is protocol buffers .js or something, because JSON is no longer hip. Could be Polymer.Base either.

    https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf

    Neither seem to be documented wrt their implementation in youtube anywhere I can find.

    i dont know what they are but it fuck up my youtube nevigations entirely as i dont use youtube app on my phone.

    im not sure if this is a mozzila-specific behavior or some of the plug in, but it made going back annoying as fuck due to the redirect.

    Are you using a modern version of Mozilla? It could be due to the way modern web apps have to access browser history to alter it to make the back button work. Maybe a VPN is messing it up.

    Maybe try this userscript: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/16935-disable-spf-youtube

    pbj could be peanut butter and jelly, someone's idea of a joke. Appending &pbj=1 (or any value) to a yt url causes the server to return a json file saying {"reload":"now"}. pbjreload is also part of error handling code in the desktop_polymer.js when using desktop yt.
