I can watch the video in Youtube but there is no space to post my own comment. Right after the info for the video, comments do start and there is no window to add my own comment. Attached is one screenshot.

This worked only one has to keep on redoing in order to have it work - IT IS NOT A SOLUTION! NEEDS TO BE FIXED!

However, I changed the default engine from Yahoo to Google and again I can't see the comment window. I did the steps again and then it worked again. But, right after I enabled anything that I previously had - I lost the Youtube comments window again. I am sure that this is somehow a bug in Firefox and it would be nice to be fixed. Basically it is enough to just close Firefox and open again to have to go through steps again to make it work for that session etc...
