        so I checked and it was the latest version, the problem was firefox’s enhanced security option, it works after I disabled it. https://lemmy.ml/comment/2886486

          Probably should edit the post to limit the slander

          Wouldn’t that still be Twitch’s fault for not supporting a browser with added security features? Or am I misunderstanding something?

            most browsers don’t support the strict security option firefox has

              I understand that from a technical level. But the solution is “we’ll make it work” and not “either use a less secure tool, or lower security on what you are using”. In my opinion this is a problem that Twitch needs to fix, not work around.

                Theoretically you are absolutely right. Problem is, the user base Firefox and especially the enhanced security have is probably not huge enough for them to bother.

                  That’s very true.

      It may be the latest version but they just don’t handle user-agent strings very well.
