FireHbbtv extension by Firefox

I am learning to build a web application for Hbbtv using the Hbbtv SDK. So for testing a sample app, I was looking for an emulator and came across FireHbbtv Extension by firefox. However, whatever I do, it says the extension is not compatible with the version of Firefox. can any of you help with what is happening

Solution

  • Firehbbtv extension is abandoned, but you can install it using an old Firefox version (<52 as far I remember). Make sure the automatic updates are disabled if you want to keep the extension available.

    There is another HbbTV plugin named hybridTV (https://github.com/karl-rousseau/HybridTvViewer) It works fine, but it is in development.

    There is also a third option, using the opera (now called vewd) SDK. You can find the info and the virtual machine downloads visiting https://www.vewd.com/products-services/vewd-tv-emulator/
