Xfinity is actively blocking streaming in Firefox.

Xfinity is actively blocking streaming in Firefox. 

https://www.xfinity.com/stream/ • (Windows 10 desktop PC)

It hangs forever at the purple xfinity stream ... page. 

xfinity stream was working previously in Firefox for years.

xfinity stream works fine in Microsoft Edge, in the Xfinity stream app on my Android cell phone, and through my Roku Ultra.
Netflix and HBO MAX and YouTube videos play just fine in my Firefox browser.

Many xfinity web pages also are missing content, especially trying to use Firefox to access account information, bill statements and pay my bill. 
I am forced to use Microsoft Edge browser to retrieve my monthly bill.

Thank you XfinityOrlandoM, but sadly you must not have read my post. 
All other playing apps can stream Xfinity content just fine at my location. (no Modem/Router/Device issues at my home) 
 

I've already followed all of XfinityAirelle's advice to luced at:

Xfinity itself claims:

Xfinity Stream is available on: 

    Web: Windows and MacOS at xfinity.com/stream 
        Available on Safari, Google Chrome, Firefox and Microsoft Edge browsers 

 
user_skfupx posts that they have "the same problem". 
 
I did find somewhere in this forum, that Xfinity has been aware of the problem, for SOME MONTHS!

Yes, I have indeed tried "Firefox Private Browsing" mode, to no avail.

It is altogether quite evident that Xfinity Comcast can give [Edited: Language] about Customer Service.  From all the forums I have participated in, commenting on the inability to access online streaming, that Xfinity Comcast is struggling with the ever-increasing drop of their Subscriber base and why allow FREE access to streaming when they can limit the availability of streaming access compared to paid subscriptions!

No matter what browser you attempt....Safari, Bing, Edge, Firefox, Explorer, Chrome, Opera.....None will allow you to access Xfinity Streaming.

Just the "Purple Screen of Xfinity Death"

Now...It seems to getting worse with reports that with FireFox, you find that even pages are missing or truncated when you try to access your own Xfinity website.

I've had it with Xfinity...After 2 months of this closure of streaming...I'm calling Xfinity to 1) get a reduction of my monthly invoice and 2) the second call is to FiberOne to see if they can service my area.

Either Xfinity does not have adequately skilled engineers to be able to repair the damage caused by their recent change to the 'streaming' code or that damage is intentional and in Xfinity's priorities. 
 
This streaming failure is experienced by different customers with different browsers and has been reported since at least July 2025, as reported by:

My Streaming service had worked well for many previous months and years. 
Please restore the code that had worked for Xfinity customers for years, at least until you can find the bugs introduced by your recent changes. 
Or Xfinity could acknowledge that Streaming services are being cancelled.

As I suspected, it is xfinity, not me, that needs help.
This post has important details:

Someone pushed bad code or removed something on the back end.

Tonight, August 16, the Firefox streaming started working again.  It appears the software issue has been resolved, at least for now.  Hopefully it will stay.

August 21 and my xfinity stream channels are working in my Firefox browser again (Windows 10 desktop computer). 
I'm guessing the post by user_it4eos finally got to someone capable of recognizing what his developer tools revealed. 
Only took them a month!

user_skfupx, Thanks for reaching out and letting us know. I can understand the importance of being able to view your bill in detail on a preferred browser. Have you tried clearing cache and cookies to see if that helps?
