I cannot log in to my YouTube account?
Since I installed Firefox on my PC more than a month ago, I cannot log in to my YouTube account, and cannot watch any videos there. I get an error message, telling me connection to this site (something like that) has failed, you can "retry" it again. Nothing come of it when I retry. This is very frustrating and I'm close to giving up on Firefox as a result. Please help.

If clearing cookies doesn't work then it is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookie files like cookies.sqlite-journal in the Firefox Profile Folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

Thanks much. I began following your instructions, but had only the option remove cookies, not show cookies. I didn't mean too, but I ended up removing all cookies. This solved the problem for me. However, I don't know how much of a mistake it was to remove all cookies.
