Some channels at Youtube have so many videos that Firefox cannot list them. The videos in the black hole are inaccessible, lost. How to list all videos? Any trick.

The black hole becomes because Firefox lists at most N latest videos or N oldest videos; anything between cannot be seen. The black hole pulls more videos in when new videos are made available.

See this channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0_cyfoE3n85cC5YsP3Hhkw/videos

Videos made available Sep 3, 2015, are inaccessible; see e.g. Rezan Sirvan - Rezan. Click "show more" button as many times until it disappears.

The search on the channel fails due the failing search engine; I can find videos of full album only partially - not all videos of the album are found. And when I don't know the artists - and most of the time I don't - I have no keywords to feed to search engine: full list of videos is important for making discoveries of yet unknown music.

I have requested solutions from Youtube: not hardcode the max number of listed videos; provide calendar type access to videos; provide paged lists. Not yet.

4 months and no solution to this.

In 15+ Youtube music channels I cannot access an increasing number of music albums because of this black hole.

I can list N videos (songs) starting from newest, and N videos starting from oldest. Anything between is inaccessible in the lists.

More they release music, more songs are pulled to the black hole.

Is this black hole caused by Firefox? Some kind of max value in array/list creation?

Is this problem in Youtube script? Could anyone check if the program/script is in source code form when it loads to Firefox? Can it be edited prior assigning to Firefox? E.g., by adjusting possible max_videos_in_the_list constant.

I have sent 15+ bug reports to Youtube but still no fix. Youtube has 500 million users and I feel I'm the only person in earth who has this problem. I don't understand why Youtube uses such akward-to-use "show more"-list; paged list would be much better for usability.

Is it possible to write my own webpage which lists all videos in the channel? Is there a give_next_video_in_the_list() call which could be used to list all videos without use of "show more" button.
