For those users of Firefox who are not fond of having to dig through a landfill each time they wish to get to their YouTube Inbox I have made this tutorial video on how to fix it. On the downside it has me talking in it :roll:

Quick sum-up for experienced users:
  • Get AdBlock Plus + the Element Hiding Helper extension.
  • Use Ctrl+Shift+K to block the unwanted frames. Be sure to not remove the H2 and H3 elements (the captions). This would have global effect throughout YouTube.

As if that wasn't already obvious from the blog title...

And no, I'm not going to delete anything. The posters above you found it helpful, if you didn't, fine, but nobody forced you to read it.

It's in the "Other" category of the Developer Blogs. And Developers don't only develop PR ;)
