Waterfox has EME (Encrypted Media Extensions) disabled(for privacy and safety reasons), no non-free streaming platform works without that leaky piece of crap technology, so it will not work on Waterfox unless HBOMax decides to stop using this Adobe Flash and Orwell´s 1984 Crossover.

You will be better of with Firefox, which leaves you enable it (at your own risk) at will.
