uBlock Origin 1.48.* announcement thread
I already managed to install uBlock Origin on firefox-tv after it was sideloaded on my Fire TV Cube, but apparently it lacked write permissions, so the extension did not save any changes or blocking lists.

is there a reason firefox is not available on the play store for Shield?
mozilla discontinued it. firefox tv hasn't been supported since april 30th 2021 & it's repo is archived. you can sideload the apk, but given that it hasn't had any updates, security or otherwise since then I'd recommend instead just moving on to another browser. one I use now is tv bro, its ugly imo but it works well & has the best functionality out of android tv browsers atm. also unlike the other spammy tv browsers has no ads or tracking

Possibly a stupid question - why does firefox android app have trackers?
The only Mozilla-backed browser that doesn't have trackers or telemetry enabled by default is Klar (Play Store, Github) because they have to comply with Germany's, Austria's and Switzerland's laws.

Do not change my search engine!
Filing on Bugzilla for the android browsers gets a delayed response and follow up. It's better to go directly to the Github repo.
