Extension fails upon switching YouTube account #6

I've encountered a strange, frustrating issue that I am struggling to define clearly. The add-on fails whenever I log in to Youtube with 1 of my 3 accounts. Only one account (main acct) is affected by this issue. In each test I ran, the only change that resulted in the add-on failing was switching which YT account I was using. I am using latest version of Firefox. Issue persists in Private Window, with 0 other add-ons active, & after full cookie/cache dump.

Interestingly, and maybe a useful clue (?), I see the exact same behavior on Chrome as well using the extension made by @sanjib-sen; which I describe further here: https://github.com/sanjib-sen/return-standalone-youtube-video-page/issues/1

I have combed through every YT and Google account a dozen times now to try & identify any difference between these accounts. Literally the only difference between accounts that I can perceive is as follows:

Happy to answer any questions &/or provide additional information to try & figure this out.
