EDIT: The question has been updated, since I now know what the cause is. Hello, after https://www.twitch.tv/ got an update and it uses the Highwind Player for the videos, the arrow keys don't work. By pressing left or right arrow key, the video doesn't move 5 seconds back or forward, however, pressing "J" and "L" does move the video back and forward ("K" pauses/plays the video), pressing up or down doesn't change the volume. Starting Firefox in private browsing or using Edge however, the arrow keys work normally, rewinding or forwarding the video and increasing/decreasing sound. The contrary is also true, J,K,L only work with normal Frefox, but don't do anything on private browser or other borwsers. My question is, since the private browsing is still using the standard player, is there any way I can force the standard Firefox to use the normal player instead of the Highwind Player? Thank you.

I managed to solve the issue. By just removing all the Twitch.tv cookies, now the standard Firefox uses the standard player again. I managed to delete just the Twitch cookies by going to Tools -> Options -> Privacy and Security, under Cookies and Site Data "Manage Data..." and there just typing "Twitch" and then deleting all that showed up. This thread can be closed, hopefully it can help to people who might have the same issue.
