It could be that twitch.tv needs the Widevine DLL to play its (DRM?) content.
www/firefox
on FreeBSD has no implementation for it as opposed to other operating systems, other browsers here (can, not tested) have the same challenge.
I encountered the same problem, the
solution is posted in another thread on this forum
(<-- click the red text to get there).
As using an external program like
multimedia/mpv
maybe feels like you have to make stupid extra mouse clicks, but this dedicated multimedia viewer gives a much better picture to watch! After all a browser is like a Swiss army knife, but not a multimedia player...
Probably this is because twitch.tv needs the Widevine DLL to play its DRM content.
Do they? Where exactly?

As far as I can see that site is just broken in Firefox.
Both Fireox and Chromium can play.
Chromium's user-agent string contain "Linux" then os detects "Linux".
But Firefox user-agent sring is not contain "Linux" only "FreeBSD".
if chaned user-agent, It can play on Firefox too.

Thanks for the tip,

A small tip if you, like me, couldn't change the user agent in Firefox manually (I must have done something wrong):
There's an extension for Firefox, called User-Agent Switcher that can be installed. To get it to change the user agent to Linux, click the new icon, then under "Select Web Browser", click the Firefox icon. Then under Select Operating System, click the Linux icon (the penguin icon).
When I changed the user agent to Linux, I got Twitch to work again on my Firefox browser.
