        This might be understandable if they have various sets of blocked/disallowed content depending on local laws, but OTOH I wish they’d more clearly communicate why you’re being blocked then.

      I’ve also had trouble logging into Twitch a few times over the last year on Firefox, but the same is true for Paypal. Both of them don’t work in a private window without any addons either, and at least for Paypal changing the user agent didn’t help. Twitch works fine If I’m already logged into Twitch, same with Paypal. Just the login fails for some reason.

      There’s other payment options, and I seldomly watch streams anyway.

      I tested this and using Librewolf I was stopped from logging on and given the message “Your browser is not supported”. Changing the user agent fixes the problem.

    I just logged in, no issues, probably check your extensions. Mine are minimal, includes uBlock, regular Firefox updated to latest.

      Usually it means that OP either uses a “hardened” fork, or did some messing around with about:config like resistFingerprinting, without understanding the ramnifications of such hardening on various web technologies that aren’t primarily related to tracking/tracing.

    I had this come up when I was using a locked down version of FF.

    Basically what happened was the security settings were not allowing Twitch the access it required.

    Once I went through and allowed access it worked fine.

    You need to disable resist fingerprinting. It’s annoying, but you can reenable it after you’ve logged in

      That’s the solution if you immediately tried to login and it didn’t work.

      Twitch login has in general very misleading error messages. The exact same message with unsupported browser also appears if you take too long to login

      No, you need to email twitch that they have a bug.

      And boycott them if they’re intentionally trying to harm marginalized folks.

          The issue isn’t Firefox. The issue is users who have privacy protections enabled. Marginalized folks need such protections to stay safe

    Change user agent. Log in, opting to stay logged in for 30 days. Change user agent back.

    That’s my routine with LibreWolf.

    I also believe they don’t like a particular security setting present on FF based browsers, though I don’t recall off the top of my head which one.

        Something you shouldn’t have to do in order to use the internet.

        There are browser plugins that let you change your user-agent request header to masquerade as another browser (e.g., Chrome).

        User-Agent is a string of information that browsers use to identify to a site what browser, version, build, etc you are using.

        You can download FF extensions that allow you to spoof a different user-agent, making the site think you’re instead using Chrome, as an example.

      Thanks, this works. I can log into Twitch again after changing the user agent. Twitch stopped me from logging on before this change saying “Your browser is not supported”. I’m using Librewolf. I suspect we’ll be seeing more of this kind of thing.

        I login with Librewolf by disabling resist fingerprinting, then disabling all content blocking extensions, then clearing cookies, then restarting Librewolf. When you login, click “Remember Me” and re-enable everything

        No problem.

        I remembered the security setting Twitch didn’t like, as well. It was “Enable ResistFingerprinting”. If it gives you any more trouble, check the LibreWolf section in your settings for that. Same deal: toggle off, login, toggle back on.

      Looks like it’s tracking of course

    This is a cookies/tracking issue, not a Firefox issue.

    If you set it to allow tracking, it will let you login, and you can disable tracking again after and it will remember you.

    It was doing this to me a while back. Are you using a VPN or using an ad-blocker specifically for Twitch’s embedded stream ads? (e.g. TTV-LOL-Pro) The latter work by using proxies and so I think trigger the same sort of effects. Disabled it and it worked fine. It also happened on a Chromium-based browser when I tested it out.

    As if I needed more reason to not go to Twitch. 😂

    But it actually works fine for me. Firefox beta 122.0, uBlock Origin and Consent-O-Matic installed.
