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.

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.

You think that this could be a reason?
I don't think I did such a setup. Let me see.
Once YouTube have merged with Google we have just mess >:( >:(

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

Seems like whatever I do comments still not visible. Weird:))

Did you try Help >> Restart with Add-Ons Disabled ??

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.
Ironic ;D

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.

Lately I had installed another browser - Google Chrome. Some time after that I went back to Mozilla to see YouTube and... there you go! I can see YT comments now.
Well... I don't know...

Keep in mind comments are not posted on all youtube videos. Comments can be disallowed by they youtube user posting the video on youtube. But, if comments are not allowed, this fact will be displayed below the video. Anyway, just thought I'd mention this in case this might apply to videos where you saw no comments and overlooked the notice that comments were not allowed.
Regarding the comments about needing a Google account, that only applies to people who want to upload video content to youtube or post comments on youtube. I don't believe you need to be signed on to a Google account to view comments posted for a video.

Yep, you are correct. Although it's not just a Google account. It's a Google+ account. I have a Google account, but not Google plus and I am not allowed a Youtube channel or allowed to post comments on videos. It's rather unfortunate.

Yes, I'm aware about this. I meant I had not seen comments below any video on YT (just in Mozilla browser).

Yes I am. Thanks :)

Haha! And now I can't see comments again on YT (just in Mozilla Browser). I really don't know what the reason of that could be.
But I don't worry about this any longer. It's not a big deal. I still can use another browser to see comments on YT.
I just was really curious then what the reason could be of this. Writing this post I just want to let you know guys what has happened lately. That's all.
