Option 1: Use the Firefox Private Window Trick
The steps for this method:

- Then copy the web player URL (highlighted in the image below).
In the next steps you need to open Firefox Private Window. To open Firefox Private Window follow these steps:
- Click the 3 lines on the top right of Firefox.
- Then click New Private Window. The Private Window will open a new Firefox session.
- Next, paste the Spotify url you copied earlier into the Private Firefox Window and press enter. Login to your Spotify account on the Private window. It should work without throwing “Spotify no Longer Supports this Version of Firefox” error.
- Now return to your normal Firefox browser and refresh the Spotify web player page. It should now work without any errors.
If this does not work for you, try my next recommended fix…
Option 2: Switch Between Desktop App and Firefox
To try this fix, you need to install Spotify desktop app. Then follow the steps below:
- Login to your spotify account on the web player. This will still throw “Spotify no Longer Supports this Version of Firefox” error. Ignore it and proceed.

- Play the track or album you wish to play
- Now return to the web player on Firefox browser. It will display a green bar at the bottom. The bar indicates that you are listening to Spotify on the desktop app.
