Does a Firefox Browser (or any good Browser) Exist for FireTV?

3 Upvotes

I find the existing browser in FireTV to be extremely buggy. I'm not currently interested in replacing the UI, though. I love Firefox, but would gladly use another if there's a good alternative.

PRO TIP: Matter Casting is what's causing your Amazon Echo Show and other Echo devices to change your TV Screen

10 Upvotes

This is a PRO TIP ANNOUNCEMENT. For da people IN DA BACK!

Turn off Matter Casting (Settings>Sound & Display>Matter Casting>Off),

if you're watching/listening to something on your FireTV (Mine is a TCL 55", built-in FireTV) and your sweet child wants to hear, "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" on our Amazon Echo Show in the kitchen, so he asks Alexa to play it, and your FireTV in the other room you're in switches to Frosty the Snowman from 1969 automatically, as if Alexa knows you want to cry today watching your childhood before your very eyes, and switches it automatically "for you." Thank you, Alexa, you is the smartestest and is a grate lissener.

All jokes aside, I've been searching for, what feels like, WEEKS to get a damned answer to this and nothing had worked and no one had a straight answer. It was Matter Casting the whole time. No more forced auto-switching to whatever my children are desiring.

Just thought I'd share, in case anyone else is quietly raging about this minor (but majorly annoying) problemo.

Troubleshooting weird problem

3 Upvotes

Howdy!

Hoping someone has ideas for this strange case:

Relevant history: my remote stopped working months ago (would drain new batteries almost immediately) so I’ve been using the phone app with no problems.

This week, had housesitters who tried to use the dead remote. It didn’t work. They tried unknown things. Now my phone app won’t connect to the TV (can’t find it when I try to connect) & the Alexa voice mode doesn’t work at all when I try to turn it on that way.

TV light on the front middle is on.

I’ve unplugged & replugged.

Creative ideas?

Apps not showing up, fix?

3 Upvotes

Evening

My fire TV updated to some new UI a few weeks ago and it has been incredibly annoying. The apps list that is supposed to appear around all of the suggested things never shows up or it only does for a second and I have to search for apps that I want to use in the search bar to get to them. Is there a non-fix for this or a place where this can be reported so that they can fix it?
