Firefox is the best open-source web browser, designed by the Mozilla Foundation. It is one of the web browsers widely used by people across the world. It is considered as an alternative to Internet Explorer. Firefox comes with private browsing mode, pop-up blocking, and erases the search history automatically. Firefox can be downloaded for free from the official website and it is available for Android, iOS, Linux, Mac, Windows, Amazon Fire devices, and more. But, for Roku, there is no direct way to install the Firefox browser.
There is no official Firefox web browser for Roku. So screen mirroring is the only possible way to get Firefox on Roku. Using this, you can cast it from your Smartphone, Mac, and PC. Initially, you need to enable screen mirroring on Roku.
