I just thought I would log in to Twitch just to say hi to the streamer I was in the same game with. Twitch loads, starts to play the stream with no problem. BUT when I try to login, it says Firefox is not a supported browser. It had no problem playing all the content, showing the chat, etc. - but for some reason it still says my browser is not supported and I can't log in. I looked it up. FF is "not supported" because it has an enhanced tracking protection feature. Twitch wants to track you, and it can't if you use Firefox. Such a petty way; this will just turn me away from Twitch even more.
