I used to be able to log into my youtube account using firefox. Now I cannot. When I click on youtube's signin button it says loading for a moment and then returns to the page, I never get to the signin page. Oh, and yes I have a google+ acct.

The issue may be because of your corrupted cookie file (cookies.sqlite)

Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookie files like cookies.sqlite-journal in the Firefox profile folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

You can also check if DOM Storage is enabled.
