Now there’s a community I’d follow!
Hm weird chromium announces update to stop allowing ad blockers and suddenly no one allows FF to work in their website.
Just chiming in as a software engineer. My product DOES support Firefox, but there are some weird animation quirks that my team has been trying to solve, but with limited bandwidth and a full product backlog, it’s hard to justify spending too much time supporting a browser with such small global utilization. Especially since we’re using third party libraries like angular material, quirks on smaller browsers can be a nightmare to chase down
They need that greed

Twitch's official stance is to support the latest two versions of Firefox. Are you modifying your browser agent string at all? Or using any plugins that are privacy/ad-blocking related?
Someone else had the same problem. Check this thread for suggested solutions. lemmy.ml/post/3612554
It is because you are resisting fingerprinting. You have to allow fingerprinting to watch twitch in a browser now.
Honestly, chatterio & streamlink is a way better combo.
If you dont mind whitelisting cookies for the twitch domain, you can allow finger printing, log in, choose to stay logged in for 30 days, then disable finger printing again. And then you’ll only have to worry about it once a month.
Step 1: Disable Twitch adblocker. Step 2: Log in to Twitch. Step 3: Re-enable Twitch adblocker.
I have had this exact issue for so long now. What always works for me is a simple reload.
Also unrelated, but still want to say it: Fuck every single browser based on chromium!
Btw there’s no point in using Privacy Badger if you already have uBlock Origin.
They don’t block the same things every time, so it’s perfectly fine to have both.
What does uBlock not block that isn’t in its filters?
Weird, I’m watching Twitch right now with Firefox.
Me, too. I haven’t re-authed in a while, though. Do you get the error if you log out and log back in?
It begins…
It’s the deep breath before the plunge.
General rule of thumb: If you suddenly encounter issues with your webbrowser, always check with another, clean profile. Preferably without any extensions.
Especially site-specific ones.
Glad you got it working again.
Check your enhanced Tracking protection settings and see if its at strict. Another user had the same problem here: lemmy.ml/post/3612554
It works perfectly on my end: Image
Must be something local to you or twitch CDN. I just tried on the same version of FF from West Europe and it worked.
Have you by chance changed your useragent?
Im on Developer edition and dont appear to be having an issue.
Any pop-up or JavaScript blockers?

I use LibreWolf, which if FF based, and they refuse to let me log in. All it takes is a User Agent spoofer set the Chrome, and it works.

This is the way. User agent spoofer comes handy whenever you browse with FF
