I've done all the suggested stuff I can find, but the switch accounts button in YouTube on Firefox (up to date, no ext./addons) just won't seem to work without several attempts. Happens with either of my pc's and doesn't happen with Chrome or Edge (neither of which I like to use), so it definitely seems related to Firefox. Don't know if there's any more that can be done (other than switching browsers), but ya never know unless ya ask.

Seems it’s been an issue on Firefox before. Try right clicking and opening any link in a new tab and then try the switch button in and new tab. Lots said it worked when this has been an issue before.

Hadn't thought of that. Thanks, I'll give it a try.

Instead of switching, you can use portable Firefox for other accounts.
