- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12539060, 6 years agoI was amazed by how much better my Twitch experience got with this player. My internet is OK but both the official player and streamlink lag constantly, this one goes 1080p60 95% of the time without any lags. WP!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14260719, 6 years agovideo to stop running after opening any channel and moving the mouse, only the audio continues to run.
I deactivated all addons leaving only the Alternate Player for Twitch.tv, anyway, the video stops working.
Thank you, it's working now.

posted 6 years agoIf you have Firefox 67, try to disable WebRender (https://www.google.com/search?q=disable+firefox+webrender). Otherwise, contact Firefox support. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15085968, 6 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by wontcachme, 6 years agoGood add-on. Works better then the normal twitch website for me.
Only problem is that since a few weeks the chat doesn't work. It keeps asking me te login and when i do nothing happens. So i either have to not chat or switch to normal website (which keeps switching the quality settings...) - Rated 5 out of 5by M4dB0y, 6 years ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15060786, 6 years agoWorks okay, but my main problem is that it loses a lot of twitch functionality. I'm especially interested in "currently online followed" list on the left. Is there a way to bring it back while using this extension? Otherwise I have no complaints.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 15052991, 6 years agoall of a sudden the chat panel is white and tells me to click login and open an external window. when i do it just goes doesn't work and i can't chat at all. tried reinstall.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15047343, 6 years ago**I've been using this addon for years now and I still hold it as one the best addons on Firefox. However! I'm dropping it down to 4 stars after all these years b/c it's crazy that we STILL cannot follow raids. That really needs to be added**
This extension is one of the most important plugins I run. The ability to resize the playing window is absolutely game changing. All the customization options are extremely helpful. I would LOVE something like this for Youtube... hint hint - Rated 5 out of 5by Jake B, 6 years agoEDIT: works fine with the fix suggested by the dev, thanks!

It's been great in the past 2 months that I've been using it, but recently the video has been freezing randomly like the other recent reviews say. Audio continues to play however. Simply pausing/unpausing as well as refreshing the tab will only give me a black video. I have to close and reopen the tab to fix it, but it will freeze again eventually. This doesn't happen in the native player. This is a great extension, please look into this issue!Developer response

See https://www.google.com/search?q=disable+firefox+webrender - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13309861, 6 years agoI have the same problem reported by pasildan. It happens when i hover over any button from a extension. The screen freezes but the sound still playing. Don't happen in the Chrome only in Firefox.
*Update* I get the same outcome even after disabling webrender.Developer response

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15020091, 6 years agoGreat addon, but as of last night the app doesnt appear or work in firefox, brave, or any other browser that I installed it on. It shows up in the extension, but not where it should be to click to activate it when a streamers live stream starts. Either its outdated, or the browsers did an update.
- Rated 4 out of 5by K-Bone, 6 years agoLove the add on, would love for this to support BetterTwitchTV add on as well.
EDIT: Like SPF before me, for some reason this extension will load the stream player itself but won't load the chat in Firefox. But I did notice that with this extension, chat loads without a problem in a Firefox fork like Comodo IceDragon. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15009380, 6 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Akatsuki, 6 years agoIt's pretty great, just set it up by yourself, it's more advanced then the default one of course.
But how to play archived streams? I tried adding this after ext. adress -> "player.html?videos=421388813" but of course that didn't help. Any way how to play archives? - Rated 5 out of 5by Almost Different, 6 years ago
