I have been having this problem since last November. When attempting to post a comment on a video in youtube when I click on the post button the button turns grey and then I simply see the Vista loading ring. I can wait hours or even leave my computer over night however it never successfully posts the comment. I am logged in to my youtube account and was able to post comments prior to November. I am currently using Firefox 20.0.1, I have attempted disabling all of my add on's with no effect.

I have an additional issue which I believe is related due to the similarities. When browsing youtube videos from any channel the "Load more videos" button does the same thing. for example the following page http://www.youtube.com/user/BdoubleO100/videos?view=0 if I scroll to the bottom and hit load more nothing will happen, as such I cannot browse to older videos.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.


Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
