I installed Firefox APK on MI Box S 4K (offical github latest non-beta release on firefox support site). Everything is OK except it is installed as a system app, meaning that I can't add it to my favorites on the Mi Box welcome screen. So I have to go to parameters/app each time and run it :-( and it is very bad... I have installed other APKs (file system, player and so on) and none was installed as a system app they all was ready for favorites. Did I something wrong ? Wahat can I do to get it in my favorites ? Thank for your help, it is a bore to install it OK and be stuck like this !

Well I guess I'm a wild bunch then. I solved the issue by installing HAL Handheld App Launcher, it is in the Google Store and it tricks AndroidTV. I got Firefix fine :-)

Hi

Firefox for Android is currently not designed for or supported on Android TV devices.
