YouTube won't allow me to save videos on Firefox. This began about a month ago. Asks me continually to sign in. I don't have this issue on Microsoft Edge. It's slower, but I have full functionality using Microsoft Edge.

YouTube TV is not affected - it works normally on Firefox.

Fred, thanks for the response. My issue is not downloading or finding videos via my Subscriptions. My problem is saving to Watch Later or to any of my several Play Lists. This is a problem only on Firefox. These savings tasks work fine using Microsoft Edge. I prefer Firefox, but currently Edge is doing the work OK.

As for my YouTube TV subscription, that works fine on either Firefox or Edge. Other things are working OK on Firefox, it's just YouTube that is being ornery.

That said, is the app link you sent me functional as a standalone desktop YouTube app?

Thanks, Mike

Yes, the program is a stand-alone. Just move the link from the browser into the program.
