I was trying to upload a 7GB video onto Youtube from Firefox. However, everytime I try to upload, the progress resets every minute. I have tried to upload a file to google drive from my laptop and the same thing happened. But, when I used edge, a chromium based browser, the Youtube upload works properly, showing the progress and the time left (which does not happen on Firefox)

I have tried turning the adblock off, which did not do anything.

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache.

Warning ! ! This will log you out of sites you're logged in to. You may also lose any settings for that website.

If there is still a problem, Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Did this help?

While you are in safe mode;

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox. Since this feature was added to Firefox it has gradually improved but there are still a few glitches.
