I installed Firefox this morning. I cannot sign into my youtube account or my google account on Firefox, but I can on IE. This is the message I get: "Firefox is detecting that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete. This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies". I am completely unfamiliar with Firefox so if you can help, please make it Firefox for Dummies. :)
