To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzes reviews to verify trustworthiness.
Like many, I felt adding a browser to FireTV would be a HUGE advantage: no longer confined to whatever offerings from Amazon or my apps, I would now be free to surf the web to any place I want. And while that's sort of true, the reality is this is more torture than gift.
I assume eventually Firefox will fix the multiple problems the current version (as of Jan 8, 2018) which include:
• The home page has 10 links (YouTube, Google, IMDB, etc.) There is no means to delete any of those or add one you prefer. (So much for freedom.) Do we really need a home-page link to the Hollywood Reporter...??
• An inability to bookmark anything.
• The Interface is sheer torture with a FireTV stick. Especially so for a long link. You can speak an address in for simple things (like Yahoo news, which will take you to a search page and you can find a link to get where you want to go) but a specific address for, say, a radio station's online player must be done one painful letter at a time. xyzradio.com:8000/CALL-live can't be spoken in because it comes out "x y z radio dot com colon 8,000 forward slash c a l l hyphen live". That might be somewhat useful if it let you let you navigate to the search box and then arrow over to delete the spaces or correct errors but it only lets you delete from the end.
• After typing in that long address, you'll have to do it each and every time. See above, "An inability to bookmark anything."
• There is no history either. After finally getting to where you want go, you'll have to start all over once you leave the app.

I too was upset that YouTube was going to be blocked. My son told me about this Firefox app so I gave it a try. It works great for me and actually extends what I can do now with the Firestick. When I signed in to YouTube I was sync'd with my YouTube account just like I have on my computer. I can cruise all my news sites which I couldn't do before. Granted you can't type emails but you can check them. The other thing missing is bookmarks but hey. I think this is a huge leap forward.

I wanted to be able to continue to watch youtube. I downloaded Firefox on my fire stick (the first one they offered). I was able to go right into youtube.
I have cable, but not in my bedroom, and wanted to keep watching the old tv shows.
If you want to be able to watch youtube, get this app, it is great.

YouTube will no longer work via the YouTube app on FireTV starting Jan. 1, 2018. Every time I launch the YouTube app I get the warning. I don't get it when I access YouTube via FireFox, so I'm hoping it remains available through this app. What I don't like is that I can't figure out any way to add a page to favorites. When you open the app there are icons for YouTube, Instagram, etc, but so far I haven't been able to figure out how to add my favorite sites to the page. Do they expect we remember every URL and are willing to manually key it in with the FireTV controller every time I want to visit the site? That's nuts. Also, there's a blue circle that you move around the screen to select something. it's very slow. Basically, the app is very primitive and I'm hoping it will improve with time. At least it's something we can use to access websites through our TVs.
I called Amazon Fire TV to see how I can get YouTube TV. They said possibly thru Firefox. Everyone out there but me knows that is not true. Amazon customers cannot obtain YouTube TV at all thru Fire TV! I now have to obtain Roku (again) and that will make my Fire TVs obsolete to me. I gave my Roku away when I acquired 2 Fire TVs from Amazon. I feel as if we are now confined to what Amazon wishes us to watch. Of course, I am NOT a happy Amazon customer right now. Now I feel I need to obtain other equipment to watch what is available out there. I thought when I acquired my Fire TVs, Amazon would be offering apps that gave us choices. Since I went further to understand the problem and why, I found out there's is a problem between Amazon and Google. Now the big players are drawing a line in the sand. What happens to their customers? We lose!

I was forced to download in order to watch YouTube on my Firestick. Terrible app, full of nuisances from resolution problems, pointer size and navigation, getting pointer to disappear while watching video (it doesn't), and fit of app window to viewing screen (so large you lose controls at bottom!). Truly a poor adaptation. I will go back to using my laptop and HDMI connection to TV screen.
Since YouTube went away from the Fire TV app, this app arrived in the nick of time.
I've mainly used it for YouTube. Once I used it to look at a couple of web pages, and it was really clunky to try to type and navigate with the Fire remote (not surprisingly, given the lack of a keyboard). One website had four bullet points to click, and I literally could only get the "cursor" to click on two of the four, so I could not actually click some of the links.
For YouTube use, it is a good replacement for the old app.

When I clicked on my YouTube app (fully intended to use it until it stopped!), a screen popped up to tell me I could access YouTube on either Mozilla or Silk browsers for FireTV. I decided to try the Mozilla app and hoped it would be a good substitute for the YouTube app. Had to activate my account but then it allowed me into my YouTube account. Started a video and within 5 minutes, it was lagging, buffering, or continuing jerkily with no sound whatsoever. Backed out and back into the video several times but this continued to happen. Then when I finally decided to go back to my Home menu and restart it, my entire Fire TV stick froze and wouldn't allow me to do anything, not even non-Firefox apps. I had to unplug my FireTV stick (the power, not the stick itself) and plug it back in 3 times. Now I can't get the Firefox app to load, and I can't get back into the old YouTube app, either, without the entire FireTV stick freezing up on me. This browser is worthless to me if it won't even load and/or keeps crashing my FireTV stick.

Using on an Amazon fire tv cube.
Firefox app wants you to register, so you can log in with some firefox account to use it properly and nags you about it a fair bit too. It doesn't have any proper tabs that everyone needs these days, address bar will auto fill out places as you type, but mostly only helps if it is a place it wants you to go rather than where you want to go, then you gotta get busy with the non standard on screen keyboard from Amazon. The pin to home-screen, i.e. bookmarks, are tiles under their pocket sponsored section that you cannot remove. The pages even with, most, ads blocked, scroll and stutter, where the silk browser does not even when loaded with ads.
I thought firefox were all about privacy, options, options options, so you can browse how you want. I have never tried to browse the internet in the past 25+ years and feel like I have no choice in anything I do and so limited in what I can do. ONE option in the "settings menu" to turn most of the data collection / tracking they themselves do, on or off.
I bought the Fire Cube to get rid of the media PC in the livingroom, but now I see it is not possible to do that, as there is no decent way to browse the internet in any usable manner with the silk browser and zero ad blocking, and this firefox app is the worst experience I have come across on any platform.
Using adgaurd dns is an option for silk browser, but a lot of sites circumvent that rather easily. Back to the media PC and yet another Amazon device for the cupboard.

When setting up with my JVC LT-24C685 TV the install process seemed to hang a couple of times and I was forced to start from scratch again. Then at some point when I was about to give up it just seemed to work.
I’ve noticed this with hardware installs sometimes appearing to hang when the process has completed without telling you.
I have a BT Home Hub and some Whole Home discs and when it came to connecting to Wi-Fi it was necessary to restart the Hone Hub in another room rather than the Whole Hone disc. Before it would pair up.
Voice control seems far more effective than manual searching.
Main issue I really have is that I can’t control the TV Programmes with the Fire Stick handset but can most of Fire Stick stuff with TV remote except Alexa which is the best part of Fire Stck.

I am a huge fan of mozilla Firefox and have been using then since Windows xp. Very easy to install and runs without issues I love the fact the I can customise the interface and also add ons are easy to install and work. I have been using adblock add on which stops all the annoying add on YouTube and many other sites I'd say about 99% of the time. Firefox it self is very quick doesn't use much pc memory can easily add my favourite website on bookmark toolbar. For advance users you can actually modify the Firefox built in settings for a faster page load/refresh.
I have ran this browser on Windows xp, 7,10 and even my android phone and can't fault it. Bare in mind opening multiple browsers not tabs can start to eat up pc memory 200-300mb each.

My first kindle a 7 was no longer meeting my needs, I've looked at HD8 reviews and when on offer to good to pass up. It's quicker and I look forward to no longer worrying about storage.the set up was easy and transferring existing data from my old one. The only difficulty was in setting up blue tooth with my Alexa / Echo and other devices, sorted now. The screen is a nice size and colour is vibrant for looking at prime movies. A nice upgrade.

Purchased because it was a reasonable price to use at my caravan, not for the Amazon fire bit. It was easy to set up but seems slow to respond to the remote and freezes for a minute or two of you try to rush changing channels. The freeview guide is again very slow to load, sometimes not loading at all. Although I've no intention of paying for prime or using the paid for internet services, I connected it to the wifi and let it update the software (it won't do it via aerial). Not noticed anything different. Picture and sound are good but if you dont intend to use the paid for TV services or the voice control, I'd consider a none Amazon fire TV. Wish I'd known before hand.
