So I know Google are blocking the YouTube 'app' on Amazon devices soon, but since yesterday the app no longer works and I now get the option to visit YouTube in either Silk (Amazon's browser) or Firefox. However, I can only get through around 4 minutes of video before it crashes in both apps. It  happens on the 3 Fire TV sticks that I have tested so far.

Anyone else have this problem?

The app was pulled early I did see a few articles the other day about it being pulled early. As for it not working in Firefox, that I'm not 100% sure of but it wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't "working properly" because of one side or the other of this little spat not playing nicely.

I just find it a bit too convenient that it doesn't work on multiple devices on different internet connections, and in different browsers yet it worked flawlessly 2 days ago.
