That echoes my experience. Is Firefox not available for Android TV yet? I don't really use a browser on the TV, so I haven't even tried installing one (not sure if it already comes installed with Chrome).

I know you said "no sideloading", but downloading and installing the Firefox APK right from Mozilla's website should be simple, no?

I sideloaded Chrome and Firefox a few months ago using the sideload launcher app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.t...), but the browsers have issues, mostly UI / UX tweaks to make them usable with the onscreen keyboard, Android TV remote etc. without buying a bunch of extra hardware.

The easier work around at the moment is to cast from a laptop.
