Changes on Twitch may limit use of the site

Recent changes to external scripts on Twitch has caused a slew of ongoing issue on their website...  I'm going to start documenting what is broken in this post, as well as giving the workaround I am using to get around it.

First issue is logging into the site (clearing cookies & cache for Twitch domains being the second thing I attempted after lessening browser security to allow all cookies & scripts from all external sites on Twitch, which required me to log back in), where it's now stating through a normal login window that my browser is not supported:

Unsupported Browser error


Note that I have censored my username & the characters in my password in the screenshot above

In order to get past this, I have to disable all browser plugins enabled in Firefox, clear cookies & cache on all Twitch domains, restart the browser, then log back in again (which means getting a new authentication code texted to me again).  This is only a temporary fix however, as the additional issues I'm going to detail below are certain site functions I've confirmed as still being broken even after going through all this trouble just to get back into my account.  The only way I've found to fully get around this issue is to log into Twitch through a Private Browser window (which means I'm having to get a new text authentication code almost daily, if not multiple times a day just to access what still remains broken through my normal method of accessing the site).

Drop Campaigns broken

 
This screenshot shows that Twitch is reporting that there are no drop campaigns available when logged in normally.
 
Notifications don't load
 

This screenshot shows that the notifications are not loading correctly (this is accessed by accessing the small icon in the top-right of this screenshot).
 
Roles Manager is broken
 
 
This screenshot shows the roles manager is throwing an error.  This is the area where you set moderators, VIPs & so on.  It's still possible to assign rolls using commands through chat on your channel.
 
Clips do not extend beyond the first page
Clips I've created
Clips of my channel

The screenshots above may not be apparent what the problem is here, however when you look at these screenshots taken when I was logged in through a Private Browser windows in Firefox on my PC:

Clips I've created
 
 Clips of my channel

...it shows that the top clip on the list of these screenshots taken in a Private Browser window are where the cutoff (and broken scripts) are when logged into Twitch normally.
 
I will continue updating on other functions that are getting broken by these latest script changes on Twitch, but for the time being, these changes may cause issues if I attempt to do a stream (I can only guess how it's going to affect the embedded chat in the channel, I may have to find another alternative to get around this expected new problem as well)...
