Twitch video player no longer works since updating to Firefox 158.0

My Firefox auto updated to version 158.0 the other morning and since then, the Twitch video player fails to work. I'll try to watch a stream, but the video player will stay black with a constant "buffering" icon. There was no issue the night prior, before my browser updated.

I've tried watching Twitch on another browser and had no issues.

Could you try setting media.wmf.media-engine.enabled to 0 in about:config, restarting, and checking to see if the error occurs?

That fixed my problem! Thank you, Ty!

It should be fixed in version 159. Please revert the preference to default after the next update.
