Safari won't let me disable safety mode for Youtube

Hi community,


I have tried a number of ways to do this and consistently failing. Youtube is locked into safety mode and I cannot disable it. My Google account is not in safety or filtering mode. Youtube works fine when I log in on Firefox. But when in Safari, and I scroll to the bottom of the Youtube page and click disable safety mode, the screen does not return to Youtube it goes nowhere, and when I get back on, safety mode is STILL ACTIVATED. This only happens when I'm using Safari. Can anyone help? I'm on a pretty old Safari I must admit - 5.1.10 - but I never used to have this issue until fairly recently. I don't know how it happened!?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Hi,


Thanks for the tip. A small correction here. You don't need to delete the entire cookies or remove all function at all. If youtube is the problem so just search youtube on the box in that same box and just remove "youtube.com". Problem solved. Removing All option will create extra headache to make the safari remember all the passwords and usernames again. Just thought of adding this little part. thanks again for your correct direction for solving the issue.
