You can no longer double click home for KODI. Cool thing is that KODI is now on the Home Pages "recent" app list.

Firestarter was a convenient way to update to the latest version, so hopefully their developers figure something out.

How long until KODI gets the same treatment?

Firestarter was exploiting a function that could be used by those up to no good. So Amazon killed that function. Also, Amazon now has advertising on its home screen so they want you to look at the home screen.
