How to run Firefox on the Apple TV

by editor @ AppleTVHacks.net on October 11, 2007

Agentgonzo has just detailed how you can get Firefox to run on the Apple TV using a combination of hacks including keyboard/mouse hack, mouse pointer hack and application loader plugin.

Actually, this technique can be used to run just about any OS X application on the Apple TV.

Thanks, Agentgonzo, for putting the article together.

Has anyone tried the HDHomerun application from the EyeTV folks with this hack?

what are the benefits of loading Full version of OS X if all i want to do is all the functions that AppleTV already does + organize and watch movies from my NAS + surf the web + RSS and maybe Skype.

Would adding a USB hub work with AppleTV to get more outputs?

Whoo hoo, got the files from a buddy's, buddy's, buddy... So, next it's getting my USB rumblepad going, and then the kids can play some educational games.

Sorry, "System preferences.app", and not "Application Preferences.app", still looking, if anyone has any ideas where to find it.

Awesome.

Got this going aswell, all I need to get going still is my mouse pointer. I don't have access to an Intel MAC so I don't know where to get the "application preferences.app". I've downloaded the osx update, but no luck. I also trolled through all the files on the appleTV in the hope of finding some setting that will show the pointer, but yest again no luck. If someone can point me somewhere it will be much appreciated.

Next, I want to put some educational games on for the kids. thanks all for the hard work.

Cheers
