So, Youtube opens up as it should, and from the start, I can play any video, from that video I can click any other video and it starts to play and so on. But if I'm logged in to Youtube, all of a sudden this feature seems to become disabled - the start page takes forever to load (if it even do), and if it does open, I can only play one video, since all others become unavailable. And this started today - up until now, it worked just fine with the latest updated Firefox.

So what the hell has happened here?

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache.

  • Clear the Cache and
  • Remove Cookies

Warning ! ! This will log you out of sites you're logged in to. You may also lose any settings for that website.

Type about:preferences<enter> in the address bar.

  • Cookies; Select Privacy. Under History, select

Firefox will Use Custom Settings. Press the button on the right side called Show Cookies. Use the search bar to look for the site. Note; There may be more than one entry. Remove All of them.

  • Cache; Select Advanced > Network.

[v57+] Select Privacy. Across from Cached Web Content, Press Clear Now.

If there is still a problem, Start Firefox in Safe Mode https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Did this help?

While you are in safe mode;

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox. Since this feature was added to Firefox it has gradually improved but there are still a few glitches.

It got solved, but not until I disabled hardware acceleration, which I think might be the main culprit, especially since I only use privacy mode (therefore, no cookies) and it apparently has been known to cause trouble in the past.

Thanks!
