    There are no comments below a video on YouTube in Mozilla
    « on: November 15, 2013, 08:36:49 PM »
    It's been a couple weeks already like that. There are no visible comments below a video on YouTube. They were visible before. That's what happens in Mozilla browser. I can see comments/posts in IE browser on YT though. How is that? I don't understand that. That's odd.

      Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.

      "Clear the Cache":

      Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
      "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:

      Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
      Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

      Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

        I followed your instructions ad2066 and still no changes. Comments still cannot be seen below a video. After all of these I even did reset Firefox - no help. Then I had uninstall and reinstall Mozilla Firefox - no help.
        This must be really weird case.
        Thank you for your willingness to help me anyway.

        Did you download latest copy of firefox and installed it after uninstalling it or did you install from the setup you already had saved on your desktop. (That's what most people do).

          Yes, I have downloaded the latest version of Mozilla: 25.0.1 and I even did the same pocedures again given by ad2066. Comments still have not been seen.

            It's their playground...

            They can take their ball and go home anytime...unfortunately.

            You don't require youtube account to 'see' comments.

                Yes, I did. With older Mozilla version and with a new one as well.

                  I deleted my Youtube account for this reason.

                  Does it?  I don't have a G+ account and can still use Youtube and see comments as usual.
                  I'm basing my assumption that I don't have a G+ account based on the fact that on the Google home page, when logged in, I see a "+You" link which, when clicked, directs me to "Join Google+ by creating your public profile".  I've never knowingly signed up to G+ and don't intend to.

                  I deleted my Youtube account for this reason.

                    Google is great for the most part - even Google+, by itself is okay. But forcing people to join Google+ in order to have a Youtube account is not okay at all.
