Error when trying to login to YouTube with FF


Recommended Posts

I get this wonderfully helpful message:

YT.PNG.c284f73805c6f1dcf7a2f64a66f33761.PNG

I am able to login to YouTube with other browsers, just not FF, any idea what exactly this error is and/or what I can do to correct it? I am logged into Google, I just confirmed this by going to Gmail, so it appears that the issue is YouTube and FF not playing nice?

IDK what the problem is, but I have decided to not use FF to watch youTube, I have tried it in a private tab with the same results.

It was turned off, but I went ahead and changed the value to 5 so it will never turn on unless I tell it to.

What AV do you use? Would it be Kaspersky by chance? I saw reports on a forum that Kaspersky was causing issues in Firefox causing with error 405 on YouTube.

Yes it would happen to be Kaspersky. Did the forum offer any workaround?

This issue is odd because when it wants to login, it is already been logged in, and if I just refresh the page, then it suddenly reverts back to showing me logged in, etc.

Also channels that I specifically say do not show, keep showing up in my list, and then about half the time, when I click on the 3 dots menu, the option to not show is not there, the only option is add to queue.

"This is a known issue with Kaspersky 21.1.15.500 that will be fixed in the next release. You can avoid it by turning off Inject scripts into web traffic to interact with web pages in network settings."

This tend to happen from time to time. Have you tried using private browser mode or incognito? If it works, then try cleaning the cookies and site data.

 

Cookies tend to corrupt themselves and wreak havoc across the entire Google family of suites.

I cleared the cache and cookies last night with CCleaner, private mode yields the same problems.

I can login to the youtube site in Firefox 78.3 ESR without any problems on Win10 which I just did moments ago 😁

i'm not using any 3rd party AV - just WD (windows defender)

 

what Firefox version is OP using?

 

edit - I'll try using another w10 PC that has Firefox 81.0 and post back later if the youtube site works

weird.

 

I actually got that 405 error message when logging in to the youtube site running Firefox 81 w/ the ublock origin, noscript & youtube no buffer addons enabled on that other PC
I then cleared the cache & cookies from Firefox using the "clear recent history" menu option (rather than using a 3rd party app like ccleaner) - closed & reloaded Firefox and logged onto the youtube site and the login was successful & the 405 error message never came back :huh:

 

I guess for me, that 405 error message was a "one time" thing on my end

    • PC gaming is stalling as well, recent analyst post I read is that it will stall for at least two years because of prices, tariffs and AI demand impacting GPU cost and availability. So far the only console to go up in price has been the Xbox. Which IMHO is just part of Microsoft’s plans to get out of the traditional insole market and move to a “Xbox” console that is just a PC made by an OEM with a Xbox sticker on it.

    • KB5060829: Microsoft makes Windows 11 File Explorer, Search faster with Build 26100.4482 by Sayan Sen Microsoft has released a new Release Preview build for Windows 11 Insiders. The new build, 26100.4482, under KB5060829, improves the performance of the File Explorer in case of extracting archives. The company says "has been enhanced when extracting archive files" and that the improvement will mainly be felt "in the case of copy pasting large numbers of files out of large 7z or .rar archives." Aside from File Explorer, Microsoft says that users can also expect a snappier Search. Microsoft notes that earlier the feature would respond "very slowly—the Search Box can take over 10 seconds to load before you can use it." Besides those, Taskbar has also received an improvement as it will better use the available real estate space more effectively with new ability to resize icons so more apps can fit. The build also brings new PC Migration tool. Start menu pins have also changed You can view the full changelog below: Gradual rollout [App defaults] New! We are rolling out some small changes in the EEA region for default browsers via the Set default button in Settings > Apps > Default apps: Additional file and link types will be set for the new default browser, if it registers them. The new default browser will be pinned to the Taskbar and Start menu unless you choose not to pin it by clearing the checkboxes. There is now a separate one-click button for browsers to change your .pdf default, if the browser registers for the .pdf file type. [Start menu] New! For Admins, the Configure Start Pins policy now includes an option to apply Start menu pins only once. This means users will receive the admin Start menu pins on their first sign-in (day 0), but afterward, they can personalize their pinned layout, and those changes will be retained. This policy can also be applied through group policy, in addition to the existing configuration service provider (CSP) method. [Taskbar & System Tray] New! The taskbar now resizes icons to fit more apps when space runs low, keeping everything visible and easy to access. You can adjust how icons appear in settings—reduce icon size only when the taskbar is full (default), keep icons at their original size at all times by selecting Never, or use smaller icons all the time by selecting Always. To change this setting, right-click an empty area on the taskbar, select Taskbar settings, expand the Taskbar behaviors section, and choose your preference under Show smaller taskbar buttons. New! In addition to the new grouping of the Accessibility menu in Quick settings, there are text descriptions for the assistive technologies like Narrator, Voice access, and more for easier identification and learning. New! Adjusted the indicator (pill) under taskbar apps to make it wider and more visible. Fixed: Clicking the top third of the buttons in the top row doesn’t work to enable or disable the button. Fixed: WIN + CTRL + Number doesn’t work anymore for switching windows of an open app in the taskbar Fixed: When using taskbar in Windows, the media controls that appear in the preview windows for apps might unexpectedly flicker. [Windows Share] New! When you share links or web content using the Windows share window, you will see a visual preview for that content. New! In the Windows share window, you can select a compression level—High, Medium, or Low Quality—when editing and sharing images, instead of selecting from a 0–100 scale. [PC Migration] We’re beginning the rollout of a new PC-to-PC migration experience in Windows. You’ll start to see the landing and the pairing page in the Windows Backup app, giving you a first look at what’s coming. In the full experience, you will be able to transfer your files and settings from your old PC to the new one during the PC setup process. Support during the PC setup will be available in a future update. We are releasing in phases for a smooth experience and will provide more details soon. [File Explorer] Improved: Performance has been enhanced when extracting archive files – this will particularly help in the case of copy pasting large numbers of files out of large 7z or .rar archives. Narrator New! The Screen Curtain feature in Narrator helps protect your privacy and improve focus by blacking out the screen while Narrator reads content aloud. This is especially helpful in public or shared spaces, where you can work with sensitive information without others seeing your screen. To turn on Narrator, press Ctrl + Windows + Enter. Then press Caps Lock + Ctrl + C to enable Screen Curtain. While it’s on, you can use Narrator as usual with the screen hidden. Press Caps Lock + Ctrl + C again to turn it off. New! Narrator makes it easier to discover and learn about its features directly within the experience. Whether you’re new or exploring advanced options, Narrator will guide you through the latest updates using a series of steps and prompts that explain each new feature and change. [Voice Access] New! You can now use voice access to navigate, dictate, and interact with Windows using voice commands in Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. New! You can add custom words to the dictionary in voice access. The feature will be available in all the currently supported voice access languages. [Settings] New! The Settings homepage on PCs managed by IT administrators now includes cards tailored for enterprise use. These include familiar options like “Recommended settings” and “Bluetooth devices,” along with two cards for device info and accessibility preferences. If a user signs in with both a work or school account and a Microsoft account, an additional accounts card appears to show both account types. New! Added the country or region selected during device setup under Settings > Time & language > Language & region. Fixed: The storage card in Settings > System > About shows an incorrect or unreadable character instead of the proper disk size. [Windowing] Fixed: When you ALT + Tab out of a full screen game, other windows (like Windows Terminal might stop responding. Fixed: An underlying issue might lead to unexpected window size and position changes after sleep/resume for some devices. Fixed: Explorer.exe might stop working unexpectedly when dragging a window if window snapping is enabled. [Scripting] Fixed: Running a script on a remote SMB share might take an unexpectedly long time if the share was an older Windows Server version like Windows Server 2019. [Graphics] Improved: Made some underlying changes to help improve display related user experiences, including reducing screen flashing in some display configuration transitions and removing unnecessary display resets which was happening in some cases. Fixed: Certain displays might be unexpectedly green. Fixed: If User Account Control (UAC) is set to Always Notify and the button under Settings > System > Display for color calibration is selected for your display and canceled, Settings will stop responding. [Color Filters] Improved: Adjusted the location of the intensity and color boost sliders under Settings > Accessibility > Color Filters, so the color previews at the top of the page are visible while adjusting the sliders. [Input] Fixed: Typing Japanese with the touch keyboard may stop working after switching to typing with an English keyboard and back. [Printing] Fixed: Printed lines might be unexpectedly thicker than expected. [MSFTEdit.dll] Fixed: Some apps like Sticky Notes and dxdiag might stop working when the display language is set to Arabic or Hebrew. Normal rollout [Copilot] Fixed: Improved the Copilot key’s reliability and resolved an issue that prevented users from restarting Copilot after using the key. [Performance] Fixed: This update addresses an issue to maintain efficiency of Storage Spaces Direct (S2D). When running complex software defined data center (SDDC) related workflows, it’s possible the system might become unresponsive. [Storage optimization] Fixed: An issue that prevented unused language packs and Feature on Demand packages from being fully removed, which led to unnecessary storage use and longer Windows Update installation times. [Windows Search] Fixed: Windows Search responds very slowly—the Search Box can take over 10 seconds to load before you can use it. Fixed: This update enhances the reliability of Windows Search and resolves an issue that prevented users from typing in Windows Search in some cases.

    • Windows 11 Snipping Tool gets a useful new screen recording feature by Taras Buria Last month, news emerged about the Snipping Tool app, Windows 11's default screenshot and screen-recording tool, getting a much-needed feature—the ability to save screen recordings as GIFs. Today, Microsoft officially announced this capability, and it is rolling out to Windows 11 insiders in the Dev and Canary Channels. In case you missed it, the latter received a new build with context menu improvements, new accessibility features, and more. GIF export in Snipping Tool works simply: Start screen recording as usual, then click the GIF button in the upper-right corner of the editor once you've finished. After that, the app will ask you to specify GIF quality and display your GIF's size info: duration, resolution, and FPS. Now, all it takes is pressing Export (save as a file) or Copy (copy to clipboard). Note that as of right now, GIF export is limited to 30-second videos or less. When exporting longer videos, the app will save only the first 30 seconds of the recording. GIF export in the Snipping Tool app is rolling out in version 11.2505.21.0. If you do not have the feature after installing the update (your computer should be enrolled in the Canary or Dev Channel of the insider program), try force-enabling it with the ViVeTool app: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Run Command Prompt as Administrator and navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id:47081492 and press Enter. Restart your computer. The announcement post can be found on the official Windows Blogs website. Other changes recently introduced for the Snipping Tool app include the so-called "Perfect Screenshot" feature, which snaps the screenshot area to shapes and objects like tables and charts.

    • Sure, I'm with you, but then again I don't run these companies and don't know all the details. As far as sales go, lots of MS software/services is sold through 3rd parties. I've always seen them for the longest time, they'll sell you the MS stuff and then also charge you a fee to act as direct support and so on.
