Are you going to implement some kind of anti popup scenario?

I know it's very new and I'm a big supporter. Your only other competition is silk browser for now. I'm not sure of the limitations of a fire device but it makes the browser almost unusable because the pop ups and redirects aren't policed at all and it destroys any semblance of trying to use it.

That being said, I didn't even know you guys were looking into a fire browser. I'm very excited and just wanted to give my .02 on a major problem. Keep on kicking ass.

Hi

I am very glad to hear you like Firefox for Fire TV.

You are right in that this is still the initial release. I have spoken to some of the people involved in the work on Firefox for Fire TV and I know that more features are due to be included, some broadly in line with what you mention.

I will add a pop-up blocker to their list and hopefully it can be included in a future release.

Is there really no way to avoid pop ups and redirects? If there is one, please publish it as I can not find it anywhere on the web or find anything between Firefox options for Fire TV. Firefox for Fire TV urgently needs an inhibit of popups and redirects since the experience of navigation without these characteristics is tremendously disastrous.
