Comments not accepted in Youtube "Comment failed to post" since upping to 92
Cannot post any comments successfully on Youtube. Disabled adblock, etc. Get the error "Comment failed to post." This happened occasionally with earlier Firefox browser, but I assumed it was youtube auto-deleting my post for some keyword infraction.
Chosen solution
Keep using v85 if you think v92 is causing problems. I suggest running some diagnostic programs on your system.

Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

- How to clear the Firefox cache {web link}
I previously cleared cookies which didn't help. Running in safe mode didn't help either. However, after shutting down and starting normally the next day, commenting wasn't a problem (some add-ons were disabled). After viewing a couple short YT videos, my PC crashed and rebooted indicating a problem with "start up." Windows tried to fix it (the screen looked like a fake version of Windows so I turned off the modem), but it couldn't fix it and offered to restore before adding recent programs. This reverted Firefox 92 to 85. Not sure if I should reinstall 92 again. To be fair, the PC has some videocard/driver issue and occasionally stalls and crashes. I don't know if 92 is adding some strain to the system.
