Mozila's block function doesn't work
I blocked youtube.com in my Firefox privacy settings, but I was shocked that when I visited youtube I was still automatically logged in! Why is the blocking function not working?

have you cleared existing youtube cookies as well? the cookie setting only works for cookies that websites want to newly set...
Yes, I cleared all their cookies too, that's what's confused me?
maybe you'll have to do the same for https://accounts.google.com
As long as you are logged into Google+, you are logged into YouTube.
No 1) I did clear ALL Google cookies No 2) I've never used Google+
You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History").
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks and history and cookies and passwords and cache and exceptions, so be cautious. If you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make sure to backup this data or make a note.
Can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of involved files.
If you revisit a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.
If clearing cookies didn't help then it is possible that the cookies.sqlite file in the profile folder that stores the cookies got corrupted.
- Rename/remove cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and if present delete cookies.sqlite-shm and cookies.sqlite-wal in the Firefox profile folder in case cookies.sqlite got corrupted.
