I really don't believe twitch is blocking Firefox. Check your add-ons, clear cookies, etc.

You're right. I only get this when Twitch can see I'm using a VPN.

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.

Firefox is actually one of the recommended browsers, if you were to click on that link. Twitch just has some issues sometimes

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.

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

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.

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.

Just a comment: IMO it's not worth using strong passwords on which you depend on privative/unknown security platforms. Who knows how many times they get hacked or have backdoors? Unless they specify they only store the hash I refuse to sacrifice one of my strong passwords.

Edit: To all talking about password managers. I don't believe in single point of failure as a way to go. The fact that i've to explain that xd...

Genuinely terrible advice. Every popularly available password manager service hashes all your passwords, if they have a data breach they have extremely strict reporting compliance and the majority of services will re-hash all your passwords. If youre so extremely concerned about that, host your own.

But what concerns me the most is

Unless they specify they only store the hash I refuse to sacrifice one of my strong passwords.

... What to you mean sacrifice?

Keeping all on one password (password manager) is a single point of failure, which i don't like. I mean sacrifice because my brain can only remeber a few 512bytes long passwords (again i don't use password managers because of single point of failure).

Does your threat model involve The Mossad? There's no way on earth that you are genuinely remembering multiple 512 byte random passwords, let alone actually taking the time to type them in.

Having a password manager, with MFA, a strong master password, and rule based device verification is ultimately more secure as you can have every password be randomized.

Best practices are best practices for a reason. I recommend you follow them.

Mossad or other agencies arent God. If my device is cryptographically secure and doesn't have backdoors it's unfeasible to access any data with current technology. I guess you are right if you take into account Intel management engine and similar, but since I use libreboot bios that does not apply to my computer (only place that I treat as secure).

If you use Apple, Microsoft, google, etc devices, those are 100% vulnerable even if you use idk rsa 2048 (xd). The problem is who you are trusting.

That's a good point. But, yeah again I don't fall in those categories. I try to ensure that my security is only based and covered behind cryptography theory and nothing else.
