Pinterest button - YouTube

Have recently discovered I could add a Pinterest button to my "banner" on my browser (ie Firefox) and have been able to pin buttons I want for myself on my Pinterest boards (rather than just copying ones I liked from other people).

That Pinterest button is still working okay on my browser - except for YouTube.

I've been pinning YouTube videos I want - but suddenly that doesnt work (though I can still pin "pages" from other sites).

I click the Pinterest button and see the page of different possibilities I might want to pin come up. I click "save" on the one I want and the screen sorta flashes at me - and it doesnt work any more.

Is this something YouTube have just done and/or can I put it right (easily - as I'm not technically-minded)?

Have discovered I'm having the same problem on some other things too - it seems to be rather random as to what works. I've just saved a test page from another site (ie a blog) - but I've not been able to save a Vimeo video or a page from a newspaper.

I'm wondering if it's somehow connected with spam detection? - as earlier today I was watching a tv programme on ITV iplayer (a site I've not had problems with before) and found that any time it got to an advert break the ITV website was saying something about I needed to "refresh" the page because of a spam filter or something and I had to push to "refresh" before it would carry on.

Anyone?

Tried making sure my antivirus was up-to-date - in case it's the problem.

Well - if it is = that company has got a flaw in their antivirus and hopefully they'll soon realise & put it right.

But it would be helpful to know if there's anything else I can do to sort this out.
