Can no longer access or copy transcript on YouTube

Can no longer access or copy transcript on YouTube. The three dots visible on a desktop used to be visible in Firefox as Firefox on Android was basically a copy of desktop. I could click on dots, then click on Get Transcript and the whole Transcript was visible on my phone. I could copy the whole transcript and paste it into Google docs. This feature was wonderful. Now the three dots to access the transcript are not visible on my phone. Please help.

The appearance of Youtube on Firefox now looks like the Youtube app on an Android and many of the desktop features are not available or at least not visible. Is there a way I can chose to view YouTube the way it used to appear in Firefox on my phone?

Thank you.

FIREFOX Once the YouTube loads, click on the three horizontal lines on the bottom right In the pop-up menu options, click on the “Request Desktop Site” option.
