YouTube is changing the player from time to time, and they indeed removed the ability to like a video both in embeds and in full screen. There is no toggle or option or anything to bring it back, at least not via YouTube-native features.

Here is an extension that forces Flash on YouTube (tested on 02/05/2015).

The previous answers don't work for me, however switching my user agent to iPad/Safari will enable HTML5 playback.

If you're willing to switch to Chrome, you can use this extension, which offers the option to force a certain player type.

The best advantage of HTML5 of YouTube player is compatibility with Android devices. When the user click the player to watch a video, no need to skip to YouTube App. Just embed and watch the video within the page, no Flash problems. At PresentationTube, we use HTML5 to allow mobile users watch the video within the page the same as the desktop.
