Amazon Fire TV Gets Firefox Web Browser

The Amazon Fire TV gets Firefox web browser and Amazon Silk web browser. With either the Firefox or Silk web browsers, Amazon Fire TV owners can search and access web sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google, Yahoo, Reddit, and other web sites. Amazon Fire TV owners can download both the Firefox and Silk web browsers to their Fire TV now.

Amazon Fire TV Gets Firefox Web Browser

Firefox for the Amazon Fire TV and the Fire TV Stick is available in the Amazon App Store.

Most Amazon Fire TV users will use Firefox or Silk web browsers to watch YouTube and other websites with videos. Both Firefox and Silk will allow videos to play in full screen on your TV.

Navigate content and links in both web browsers with the Fire TV remote control.

Using The Amazon Fire TV Remote Control

Imagine yourself using the Firefox or Silk browser on your Amazon Fire TV.

Remember the last time you used the on-screen keyboard of your Amazon Fire TV to type in your username and password for either the Netflix or Hulu app.

Now, imagine browsing the web with the simple Amazon Fire TV remote control.

That could be frustrating.

The Amazon Fire TV remote control is highly function with an elegant design. The Amazon Fire TV remote control has a simple design, optimized for apps. The remote control is not designed or optimized for web browsers.

Will the Alexa Voice Remote help? Possibly. But voice remotes are not usable in all situations or for all people. Voice commands do not always work well for users with heavy accents or children. And voice commands sometimes auto-correct spelling in undesired ways.

Amazon Fire TV Accessories

How could browsing the web on your Amazon Fire TV or Fire TV Stick be better?

Think accessories.

Amazon Fire TV accessories could make browsing the Internet on your Amazon Fire TV, from your couch, much easier.

The Amazon Fire TV already has a few accessories:

• iPazzPort Mini bluetooth Keyboard for Fire TV Stick with QWERTY To Type and Search KP-810-30B
• Rii Mini Bluetooth Wireless Touchpad Rechargable Keyboard Combo, for PC, PAD, XBOX 360, PS3, Google Android TV Box, HTPC, IPTV, Black (i8 BT) Black

Or, could Amazon develop a remote that has a slide out keyboard similar to the TiVo Slide Remote?

More Amazon Fire TV accessories designed for web browsing are sure to come.

Final Thoughts

The ability to use the Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Stick to browse the web is awesome. The Firefox and Silk web browser apps are a great addition to Amazon Fire TV devices.  The Firefox and Silk web browsers will allow Amazon Fire TV owners to browse Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google, Yahoo, Reddit, and other web sites.

Consider improving your web browsing experience by adding a keyboard accessory. A keyboard accessory will allow you to enter text without needing to hunt-and-peck an on-screen keyboard using the Amazon remote.

PRO TIP: Get a Bluetooth version for your Amazon Fire TV or Fire TV Stick to make sure it is compatible. Here are instructions on how to connect Bluetooth keyboard and other devices to your Amazon Fire TV.
