Hello,

I have the following problem getting youtube to play video clips in Firefox Quantum Version 58, the youtube webpage will come up in Firefox Quantum Version 58, and I search youtube for the clip I am looking for and youtube finds the clip and I click on the link to play the clip and youtube will load the clip be this only happens for 2 seconds then the page goes back to the youtube main home page.

Any help with this problem would be great.

Thanks

Matthew

Hello,

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache. Note: This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to. To clear cache and cookies do the following:

  1. (Firefox 57 and above) Click the Library button 57 library icon and choose History.
    (Click the menu button New Fx Menu and choose History in older Firefox versions.)
  2. In the History menu, choose "Clear Recent History...".
  3. Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
  4. Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
  5. From the details list, check Cache and Cookies and uncheck everything else.
  6. Now click the "Clear Now" button.

Further information can be found in the Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox article.

Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

Thank you.
