    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.

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

    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.

        When your browser connects to a website, it will tell the webserver what type of browser you are using in the HTTP headers. This can be used for serving a special web page for browsers with quirks, or it can be used to block certain browsers.

        It may look something like this:

        User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:123.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/123.0

        But you can use an extension like this one to spoof your user agent and send out one that corresponds to a chromium browser.

      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.

        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.

        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

      Idk someone could probably brute force it in only a few trillion years, I’d make it longer if you plan to be using Twitch long-term.

        You assume the person would never change the password. Someone with that long password is probably security concerned and is likely to change it after some time, even if its once in a year.

          Yeah but you’d have to write it across like, 10 post-it notes along the top of your monitor. That’d get expensive!

            Or just use a password manager. Then you only need to store one password across 15 post-it notes.

      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 to disable an extension to log in last time I got this message. Alternatively, force refresh the page.

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