No. Why would you support such a shitty company that knowingly and willingly installs malware and backdoors on their machines and lock them down so hard you can't even upgrade hardware? Not even macfags get shafted that hard.

Upgraded to Firefox 50.1.0 because everyone was saying I was retarded to not and that would magically fix everything but it fixed nothing. Getting the same errors in pic related as I did on 28 and now middleclick isnt working on my mouse only in Firefox. Even tried Firefox in safe mode with no extentions or anything else and still get the errors that wont let me view Twitch channels or login. I already use livestreamer 99% of the time but sometimes need to use Twitch itself otherwise I wouldnt bother asking for help. Would someone please help me figure out the cause of this?
>watching other people play games
