Why am I having so much trouble signing in to Mozilla
Every time I try to sign in it will not take username and password so I have to change it and then I forget what I changed it to.
Also why can't I watch videos on facebook I can with Internet Explorer Windows 7

Aren't you using the Password Manager to save and autofill your passwords?

Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause Firefox issues. Disable All of them.
In the event that the passwords information is lost, you should record all information in a separate text file somewhere else on your hard drive, or written down. You can easily copy and paste if you need to do so. If you are concerned about someone else looking at that file, you can compress it using a password.

If clearing cookies didn't help then it is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies got corrupted.
- Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookies files like cookies.sqlite-journal in the Firefox profile folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
