I was unable to reproduce this. Could you please try with a clean profile: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles ?

Nevermind, it was the "Privacy Badger" Extension. For some reason, it allows you to login to gmail and youtube (And upload videos to youtube even) but not comment due to some silly way google handles cookies:

Thanks for your answer! 

Based on comment #2, this is not a Firefox bug.
