Does anyone have a clue why Twitch stopped working for me when using Firefox?

I cant load any streams at all. At first it is just stuck at "loading video" and is soon followed by "failed to load video".

Also Twitch chat keeps repeating "sorry, we were unable to connect to chat. Reconnecting in 0 seconds."

Even tried uninstalling the whole thing but it is still not working.

Works fine with other browsers.

question due to curiosity and confusion.

Lets say I bought a newly built computer from someone. With everything set, and Windows 7 installed and everything. lets also say he had a SDD and HDD in and got the OS into the SDD.

If i bought this pc, and decided to break it apart and sell it for parts, will anything change? Like if someone bought the HDD and SDD from me, would all the data and such be in it already? (for example, if someone bought the SDD that had the OS installed to it, will it come with the OS?) and if it does, does that mean he wont need to buy a new copy of windows?

EDIT: i ask this because an opportunity came by with a great offer of a full pc thats already built and with windows 7 installed and ready to use.
so i was planning on buying it and selling the other parts that i wont need.

If you don't format it than yes all the data would remain on the drives.

It means to erase all the data from a drive.

oh i see. so if I were to buy that PC, took out the SDD and put it to my PC, does that mean i would also get a free copy of windows 7??

Well it'd be on the SSD if he didn't format it but I'm not sure if you'd consider that a free copy of Windows since he could still have the key and just re-use it for himself.

how does that work exactly? one copy of windows is only a 1 time use on one pc? you cant keep using it for other PCs? (if not that sucks, i was hoping i can use a friends copy that he has already on a new build)
and the pc that he is selling already has windows 7 installed. does that mean he can scam me and just use his key making the windows 7 on the pc i buy from him gone or something?

When you purchase windows, you get a cd-key. The terms says you're only suppose to use this once but there's nothing stopping you from using it on one computer and then using it again in five years when you replace your old computer with a new one.

OEM Windows can only be activated on one computer at a time so no you can't use a friend's copy if he's already using it. If Microsoft detects it, which they likely will, both computers with the same key will become not genuine.

Yes, you can get scammed by buying any software used.

.

for this part, it only means when your replacing your SDD or HDD (which ever drive has ur OS installed to it) right?

YESSS, so i just realized that i can get a windows 7 or windows 8 disk copy for $5 at my school.
or i can download them for free online.

if i choose to get the disk copy, i know how i can use that to install a clean copy onto a new pc.
but if i choose to get the free one, how would i actually install that to a new pc?

(also, it seems weird that i can "download" a OS on a pc that already has one.)

You can download anything that you already have so I don't really see how that's weird. If you were to download it then you would need to create a bootable USB and install it via USB (or burn it to a disc and install it the traditional way).

ah okay i see thank you.

I just thought its weird because i thought that if you download the OS when you already have one, it'll start reformatting and replacing your current OS with the one you just downloaded.

Here are the legitimate downloads for Windows 7 disc images: http://www.w7forums.com/threads/official-windows-7-sp1-iso-image-downloads.12325/

There's only sketchy downloads for the Windows 8 disc image like on pirate bay, as far as I know.

It means the file that you use to burn it to a disc or make a bootable USB.

Those are official downloads for Microsoft so there's nothing risky about it.

What you are describing, it seems you get a legit product key. That's it. You don't get the Windows installation media.

They want $5 as a fee to burn you a disc. What they would do is using one of those disc images as source for burning that disc.

So does that mean with the $5 fee (from my school) they only giving me the CD key?
and i use that website to download the actual file and then input my key in after the installation?

EDIT: what would happen if i have one but not the other?
