Updating Firefox suddenly fixed this for me. I then later just had my entire google account banned and I had to create a new account. They even attempted to IP ban me as well. Said I was banned until 2036 or something like that.
Your account got banned from YouTube, or you got banned from Google and it's apps?
Please reply to this dorumon
If it's a ban from the whole google echo-system that is fucked up. I sadly still have a lot of important stuff linked to my google account.
+, I've been untangling from Google for years, still find the odd thing going to Gmail that could screw me over
So you lost access to gmail as well?
