Good morning J. You mentioned that Firefox isn’t made for tv. That confuses me as there are apks for Fire TV, Fire OS and Android. So I have the Mecool KM2 and firestick, does that mean I can’t load Firefox onto either of those and use it on my TV? I’m especially trying to get a Silk equivalent on the KM2 and I’m not paying for Puffin.

Mozilla made and labeled the app specifically as “Firefox for Fire TV”. They developed it specifically for Amazon compatibility.
No matter what device you are using to access the Google Play store, the app is only going to show up in the app store if the developer has marked your specific device as compatible. Since the Firefox app is only marked as compatible for Fire TV, it is not going to show up on an Nvidia Shield. However, we know that the app works just the same and we can sideload the APK.
So it’s not a problem with the device… it’s a problem with the developers money grubbing.
And I apologize, it has been a long time since I looked into Firefox. Used to be back in the day you could only get the APK that belonged to android phones and sideload it. You would have to use an air mouse to do anything with it. Using a regular remote control would not work well.
Ya I’m not concerned about any app stores as I can’t even get things like airy or pluto anyway, so I sideload almost everything. My main focus is finding a good browser that I can load on the KM2 and get functionality like Silk provides on the firestick. So far all have failed, and I mean ALL, so someone suggested trying Firefox. Ok thanks for your help.
Me too! I have yet to run into that issue.

LOL! Yeah, I drive a dented 2012 Mitz Outlander, but it runs flawlessly and it’s paid for. I bought it new in 2013 and have less than 24K miles on it (retired). To be honest, I don’t think it’s worth having. Uber would probably be cheaper on the average! if I needed a vehicle to travel I could rent one!
