Hello, when I try to write a comment on YouTube, the window opens but closes immediately. However, I am logged in, and I have allowed pop-up windows for this site. Mystery?

Configuration: Windows / Firefox 31.0

    Hello,

    I had the same issue for a while, but the solution is quite simple. It doesn’t come from YouTube, but from the management of cookies by the browser used.

    I see that the question is from six months ago, but if it can help others... :

    I’ll give the steps I took on my browser, which is Firefox. It should be pretty similar on others. Refer to the help or support of the corresponding browser if needed.

    - "Options" (in the menu button, on the right side of the toolbar OR "Tools" and "Options" in the menu bar, it’s the same),

    - In the window that opens, click on "Privacy" (represented by a mask),

    - You need to ensure that "Accept cookies" is checked and, just below, click on the drop-down list "Accept third-party cookies" and choose "From visited sites" or "always".

    For my part, "never" was selected. I changed it to "from visited sites" and this allowed me to post comments on YouTube again among other things.

    Happy surfing on the internet.

      In other words, in order to post a comment on YouTube, you have to accept that your PC will be spied on, spammed, and filled with ads.
