Yesterday (19/08/2023) everything worked fine. Today (20/08/2023) I can no longer login to Twitch using Firefox. I restarted browser and cleared cache. No change.
EDIT: I tried again after 30min and it works again. I have some privacy-oriented plugins but I don’t play with custom useragent.

Mildly Life changing
Step 1: Disable Twitch adblocker.
Step 2: Log in to Twitch.
Step 3: Re-enable Twitch adblocker.
That’s what worked for me.
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
Oh I fully understand a smaller company having a website that says “some animations may not work with your browser” when it’s obviously easier to just do chromium as that covers almost every browser, but fully disabling the entire website when it works just fine as long as you tell Firefox to say it’s chrome is a different story.
They need that greed
I use LibreWolf, which is FF based, and they refuse to let me log in. All it takes is a User Agent spoofer set to Chrome, and it works.

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!
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.
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.

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?
Or using any plugins that are privacy/ad-blocking related?
I mean… Of course.
I mean, that’s probably the “problem.” At least directly. The real problem is Twitch obviously, but it’s not that Firefox isn’t supported.
Edit: so I guess it’s not so much that it’s not infuriating, but I would give up Twitch before Firefox.
Yep, pretty much my exact thoughts.
Someone else had the same problem. Check this thread for suggested solutions. https://lemmy.ml/post/3612554
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?
uBlock blocks things solely based on them being in a filter list. Privacy badger blocks form controls and html elements that can allow tracking. Those are different things.
uBlock Origin does that and way more. That’s just wrong lol
Your username is the stuff of nightmares
Does uBO replace/block fb widgets on sites? It was the main reason I kept Privacy Badger alongside it and just didn’t bother removing when uBO just got more advanced.
Yes. I think it’s in the annoyance tab in the settings. Go to filters and you can enable it, there’s a ton.
Doesn’t firefox have an official add-on that’s installed by default that does that?
Weird, I’m watching Twitch right now with Firefox.
