Why can't I log in to YouTube when using Firefox?

Information is stored on other websites just fine, and I have been able to log on to my YouTube account through Internet Explorer 8. However, when I click the 'Sign In' button on YouTube, I keep getting an error message that reads,
"The page isn't redirecting properly. Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete."
I have tried changing the security settings, and I made sure that cookies were allowed. I've tried clearing the cache, and even resetting Firefox entirely. None of this has worked.
If anyone could help me with this I would be so grateful. Firefox runs so much faster on this laptop than Internet Explorer, for some reason, and I hate having to open a separate window with it to watch YouTube videos.

try in firefox safemode and give a try
'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

I can't see any pictures or graphics when using firefox, I just get a broken file image. How do I fix it?

I can't see any icons or images when using Firefox. I can on other browsers on my apple laptop. How can I fix it?

*Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
*Check that images are enabled: Firefox > Preferences > Content: [X] Load images automatically
*Check the exceptions in "Firefox > Preferences > Content: Load Images > Exceptions"
*Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down key).
If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) that can block images.

On my new computer, I can no longer open attachmnets in Hotmail when using Firefox. The attachments will open with other browsers. It is quite frustrating. Any help out there would be surely appreciated. Cheers

Hotmail won't open attachments when using Firefox. I'm not sure if this relates to cookies, add ons (I recently addded Ad-blocker and Do not track), or some other type of security setting. I have tried some proposed solutions on the we to no avail. Using Windows 7

Tyler,
Thanks for your suggestion. My problem occurs when trying to open any type of file (at least .doc and .pdf, as far as I know). As I mentioned, when I log into hotmail from another browser, I am then able to open my attachments. I am hoping to figure out how to tinker with firefox so I no longer have this issue. I am not sure what is causing this block, but I know it has to do with Firefox (or settings relating to) or related add ons.

Why can't I see my hotmail folders when using Mail on my Mac, but I can see them when I use Mail on my iPhone, weird?

I've set up Mail on my new Mac, but the folders I have set up in my Hotmail are not visible. Funny, coz I can see the folders when using Mail on my Iphone. Have I set the connection between Hotmail and my Mac incorrectly? It was very automated so I don't know what I did incorrectly. Can anyone out there give me a tip?
Cheers, Paul

Why can`t I get the"@" symbol to appear using FireFox version 4´?

Hi.
I`m using a Toshiba laptop and I`m running Windows 7.
(Please note: I don`t have the following problem when I use Microsoft Internet Explorer, or when I`m using Microsoft Word.)
Every single time I try to generate the "@" symbol I get ".
The same type of thing happens for any other alternate character or symbol I try to generate by pressing the SHIFT-KEYand the desired key on the keyboard.
It`s REALLY frustrating because I`ve always loved Firefox.
Cheers.
Dan

iWeb2 photos page is completely different from that of iWeb1.

Why can't I open pics from Pictures folder using Firefox 4?

I like to use Firefox to open my pics from my Pictures folder. The previous version allowed my to do this. This new version is not working. When I click on the Firefox option from the "open with" drop down box, nothing happens. Previously, the pic would open in a new tab. It doesn't even open in a new window.

Snowball99, I don't think that element on the gmail is using flash. I opened up the element on the page and there is no embedded attachment. So, I would like to clarify is this an embedded photo in the email or is this an attached pdf, wav, or doc files.
The attachment is an icon at the bottom of the email, maybe a screenshot would help: please see [[How do I create a screenshot of my problem?]]
Once you've done this, attach the saved screenshot file to your forum post by clicking the '''Browse...''' button below the ''Post your reply'' box. This will help us to visualize the problem.
Thank you!

Why can't I post to a Wordpress blog using Firefox 5.o?

I tried to post a comment on a wordpress blog and twice the comment was completely erased when I pressed "preview" or "comment". When I switched to Safari, I had no problem!

Thanks for the help, 'TheOldFox.' Turns out it was a hardware issue. Had power off & on my Time Warner Surfboard router again! What a POS!

Why can't i log into youtube when i'm using firefox?

I used to be able to log into my youtube account using firefox. Now I cannot. When I click on youtube's signin button it says loading for a moment and then returns to the page, I never get to the signin page. Oh, and yes I have a google+ acct.

Reload the webpage while bypassing the cache
*Hold down the ''Shift'' key and click the ''Reload'' button with a left click.
*Press ''Ctrl'' + ''F5'' or ''Ctrl'' + ''Shift'' + ''R'' (Windows and Linux)
*Press ''Command'' + ''Shift'' + ''R'' (Mac)
Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
'''Clear the Cache''': Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
'''Remove Cookies''' from sites causing problems:
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
The issue may be because of your corrupted cookie file (cookies.sqlite)
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.

Why wont Youtube videos load when using Firefox 3.6.3?

I've been having issues with youtube when using firefox, the video doesnt load or show up for that matter its just a black screen where the video should be and on the bottom left hand corner of Mozzilla it says "done" I've tried everything, I updated java and flash but nothing seems to work. What can I do? I know I can use other web browsers but I really want to fix this
== URL of affected sites ==
www.youtube.com

There are a few reasons why youtube might be broken:
* An extension may be causing the problem: try the steps at [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* ''Bad item stored in the Browser Cache'': Follow the steps at [[How to clear the cache]].
* Firewall software is blocking some resources on the page: see [[Firewalls]]
If none of this works, let me know if Flash video from other sites work. Here are a few you can try:

Why can't I log into iChat

I am new to iChat.
When I log in, I get an AIM window. I don't understand why I get an AOL window when I am in iChat...it is very confusing. When I try to make myself available in my AIM window, it asks me to log into my mac.com account (my login ID is already put into that field). When I enter my password, it gives me an error message saying either my user name or password is incorrect. I tried entering it a number of times but it didn't work. So I went throught the process of resetting my password. Once it was reset, I tried to log in again but I keep getting the same error message. My questions are:
1. Why can't I log in?
2. Why, if I am using iChat, are all of these references to AOL?
3. In my Status command in the iChat menu, it shows I am available. Available for what? My AIM window is saying I am offline.
4. In the Accounts command in the iChat menu, it shows me as logged into Bonjour and then my email address twice. Right below that it gives me the option to log into my email address. Right above that it is telling me I am already logged in.
This is all so confusing. I use Skype and find it simple. I use a number of IM apps and find them simple. I can't figure out iChat.

Hi,
If you have Opened iChat for the First time then you will have filled in a Account/Screen Name.
This should have Logged in to the server.
If it didn't, you should have got a message about either the Name or the Password being "wrong"
This may leave you without the Buddy List showing.
In this case go to the iChat Menu (That's the one that drops down where the word iChat appears in the Menu bar)
Go to Preferences and chose Accounts.
Highlight the Screen Name on the left.
Now on the right make sure Account Info is the tab that is highlighted.
Tick/Select the box that says "Use this Account"
This should make th Buddy List at least start to appear. It will just be the header part and will say the word "Connecting..."
If this does not work, and you get another message about the Password or name then go to the Server Settings tab in the Accounts part of the Preferences.
Change the default port (5190) to 443.
Reselect Use this Account in the Account Info tab again.
Most routers have the ports from the beginning to port 1024 Open by default.
Web Browsing and mail Ports are this low.
( I am presuming you have looked and sorted the Mac Firewall)
If you now have Buddy List you have logged in.
You can now Add Buddies.
(this presumes you have sorted any issue with the Password being too long).
If you are now logged in you can Text chat as well even if you have no Buddies in the Buddy List.
You can use the File Menu > New Chat option if you at least know a AIM name or one that is a Valid AIM Login name.
The chances are though that you will not be able to File Transfer, Audio Only Chat or Video chat.
This is because at present we have only moved the Login port to lower than the threshold of blocked ports in your Router.
The other ports iChat uses will need to be Opened.
At this point it may pay to tell me the make and model of the Router so It Can suggest steps to take.
Also what do you know about setting up your routers for Games or applications that use Ports above 1024 ?
NOTES:-
Having an open Buddy List and using the red Button top left will close the Window but not Quit iChat
To get the Buddy List Back go to th Window Menu in iChat and either select your Screen Name (Or AIM Buddy List) or use the Key Strokes listed (Normally Apple/CMD ( or ⌘) and the 2 key together).
Using the red button on any Chat Window (Text, Group, Audio Only or Video Chat) will end the Chat and close the Window.
6:54 PM Thursday; April 21, 2011
Please, if posting Logs, do not post any Log info after the line "Binary Images for iChat"
 G4/1GhzDual MDD (Leopard 10.5.8)
 MacBookPro 2Gb( 10.6.7)
, Mac OS X (10.6.7),
