It's annoying that after using Twitch.tv for a while, Firefox gets slow and finally hangs out and don't respond anymore.

The fun with the ever vulnerable and high memory usage Flash Player Plugin.

Twitch has changed to HTML5 video for some devices or browsers I think but for Firefox you still need the Flash Player for Twitch. Twitch already has HTML5 in use for chat and controls for over a year now. If you signed up for HTML5 Beta testing or randomly selected then you could use HTML5 in player now and not later, check the gear icon in player.

You may be able to watch a Twitch stream with HTML5 player for a while now actually but with no chat (basically a popout player) so you would have to use chat in a popout window or IRC or such. For example http://player.twitch.tv/?channel=channelnamehere&html5 (enter channel accordingly)

Another way you can watch Twitch streams is say by using Livestreamer and Twitch gui (set stream type to hls in livestreamer gui) to send html5 streams to a media player like vlc or mpv. I do this on Linux and it uses a Lot less cpu usage especially if viewing Source in full screen.

Due to recent Twitch API changes a few days ago you want to use the Livestreamer Twitch GUI v0.15.1 or later as workarounds is needed in older versions or by using Livestreamer without the Twitch GUI. https://github.com/bastimeyer/livestreamer-twitch-gui
