I was able to upload 2 days ago but now i cannot, I've tried downloading google gears, but it isnt available. I tried clearing cookies and cache, but that didnt work. Ive tried that refreshing firefox thing on the firefox website, but still nothing. It works on chrome though but i really want to use firefox and not chrome, if anyone know how to fix this id be very grateful.

Separate Security Issue: Update your Adobe Reader Version 2015.016.20039 Note: Other Software is offered in the download.


Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options)
key, and then starting Firefox. A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).

Is the problem still there?


There is a third party up/downloader available for Youtube.

Yes the problem is still there but i found a 3rd party uploader so that might help, but i still kinda want to use the website to upload.

Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support to see if that has effect in case security software is causing problems.
