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, 7 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, 7 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by UHYMM, 7 years agoGreat extension! I have only 1 main issue: chat doesn't pause while scrolling. Try to fix it, please.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13853248, 7 years agoNot perfect, to be frankly, yet very performative and promising. I'm really looking forward this addon get better in future.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14520337, 7 years agoCouldn't find a way to scroll down the page to see the streamer's info other than disable this addon

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14744939, 7 years agoAlex, I started having a problem since Version 2019.1.23 Released Jan 23, 2019. The player doesn't start auto-playing when I go to any channel. Player opens but the stream is paused. I have to push "space" every time to make it start playing. Is there a solution to this?
Other than that everything's great. - Rated 3 out of 5by BlayZin, 7 years agoOn firefox the chat doesn't pause while scrolling. Luckily there is an extension that fixes this https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/twitch-chat-scroll-fix/ but sadly it doesn't work together with this extension so I can't really use it.

- Rated 5 out of 5by aquova, 7 years agoThe default player makes my computer heat up immediately, but I've had no issues at all with this player, it works great! The only thing I'd like is the ability to use it with VODs as well.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13703658, 7 years agoI used it only because it was the only solution to ads for me. Now it shows ads so it's pointless to use with inferior features to twitch's website.
