    is there a way to simply install a addon in firefox to redirect all youtube links to piped links?

    Anything that can be done to destroy youtubes monopoly is a good thing.

    ...or you can install firefox on android with uBlock origin and many other extensions, and use mobile youtube website

    I'm using Firefox and ublock on Android and it's great but YouTube via mobile browser is definitely the worst experience after the official youtube app. LibreTube, NewPipe, PipePipe are all better options. Revanced is probably the best in theory but takes more work to get running. These are just the ones I've tried but there are even more options. I'm currently using PipePipe and it's great.
