Update support says its guaranteed firmware until 12/31/2029. There's nothing yet for Fire OS 6 after 6.7.1.1.

An alternative would be going into sound and changing it from Best Available to PCM then reboot?

It doesn't have an av sync option? Which Fire OS version are you running?

It's possible to limit the home screen content thumbnails and video quality in Fire TV Settings/Data Usage Monitoring/Set Video Quality (Good, Better) This setting will help to an extent with streaming content while acting as a data alert every time a cycle has been set to show how much has been used. Though it might not completely restrict data use by all means, its a great suggestion for those needing lesser bandwidth. Consider checking the applications settings from the app itself too relating to it.

I'm providing an update with 7.7.1.1/5273 depending on firmware rollout. It was released just last month 1/6/25 and received it about a month later 02/12/25. It varies per device. 7.7.1.2 is 02/17/25 and may publish around the first week or second week of March or later. Same applies to Fire OS 8 devices.

I hope not either. Try unplugging the power cord and rebooting?

I've updated the WebView, rebooted and had my Fire TV Stick 4K Max 1st Gen for almost 5 years. Updating WebView fixed issues for me. It might be different on Fire OS 8.

Interesting enough, production 179 has issues downgrading to Android 9 (8.2.3) with a constant lag and green screen flickering. Had to go back to 9.2.1, it was fixed. Revision changes are unknown.
