So far, I can dismiss the popup in Firefox and keep watching, but I dread the day that this doesn't work anymore.

It's a fairly straightforward cat and mouse game. The only thing that has the potential to make it complicated soon is Google's Web Environment Integrity API.

As long as Firefox keeps doing their thing and doesn't adopt Google's bullshit....

Then YouTube refuses to serve Firefox users. Eventually the EU punishes them for it. Not sure what's after that.
