How-to
Install Firefox Tv
Reference:
- https://androidtvnews.com/android-tv-web-browser/
- Youtube - Install Firefox On Android TV OS Devices like NVIDIA SHIELD TV and Xiaomi Mi Box
First method:
- In Google Play Store, install downloader app.
- In download app, download
https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-tv/releases/download/v4.7.1/firefox-tv-4.7.1.apk
- Install apk, and if necessary, give permission to install external apk. Apk can be deleted afterwards.
Second method:
- Download firefox tv release on some network drive accessible to Shield Pro (mounted).
- In Google Play Store, install the simple File Manager from HiMedia.
- Visit the (mounted) network share, and select the apk.
Install a file explorer
Let's try a simple file explorer to easily find the latest downloaded video.
Some candidates (see also [1]):
MiXplorer seems the best candidate for now:
- Nice interface to browse the NAS, with file sort by date (most recent).
- Can launch video in Kodi, VLC, or any other player.
- To play video from NAS, first add the NAS as a SMB share (don't use mounted shares).
- Using direct link works (no need to copy temporarily).
- MiXplorer player: Codec add-ons cannot be installed (apparently not compatible with Shield TV)
Applications
- Browsers
- TV
- Downloader (more for sideloading)
- File Manager

- File Manager from HiMedia.
