Another Firefox Linux web trouble I've had: Twitch refuses to login, claiming I need to use a supported browser. Then they link to a page saying Firefox is supported. Have this happening on two different computers https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=289645 https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=289645 https://www.reddit.com/r/Twitch/comments/1118xgz/unsupported_browser_bug_on_linux https://www.reddit.com/r/Twitch/comments/1118xgz/unsupported... Someone solved it by disabling fingerprinting resistance https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/100t2q3/comment/j2mr68x https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/100t2q3/comment/...

The last time I used Twitch it also insisted that my 16 character password was too long for their 40 character limit, so that kind of thing seems to be normal there.

> Someone solved it by disabling fingerprinting resistance Similar issue happens also in some Google services, e.g. Google Docs. It does not work at all (or everything is in wrong resolution) if you have fingerprint resistance enabled.

I can’t say I’ve had an issue with Twitch on either macOS nor Arch Linux - both Firefox, no extensions aside containers. YouTube, however, did stop working on me this morning. It’s now demanding I sign in, which it didn’t before.

  The issue on Twitch only pops up when you enable the `resistFingerprinting` flag. If Twitch can't fingerprint you, they simply refuse your attempt to log in.

Maybe using a user agent spoofing plugin can circumvent this? Just a guess though.
