Hello dooshay1

did you try to upload a video when you are in firefox safe mode ?

if the above is not helpful try to create a new firefox profile and check if the problem persist.

if again you cannon (in firefox safe mode or in a new firefox profile) try in windows safe mode with network support.

Any luck ?

thank you
