This means, before you can connect to your Fire TV via ADB, to sideload an app for example, you must first force quit FireStarter.

You should, however, be aware that the issue where FireStarter prevents outside ADB connections remains. With this new update, FireStarter’s detection of single and double home button presses will work in Fire OS 5. The app’s developer has just released version 3.0 of FireStarter which restores home button detection on Fire OS 5 without needing to perform any fixes, and adds a few other things you should be aware of. Changes in Fire OS 5, the operating system on the 2nd-gen Fire TV which will soon be coming to the 1st-gen Fire TV and Fire TV Stick, have caused FireStarter’s home button detection to fail. Its killer feature has always been its ability to reliably detect when you press or double-press the Fire TV remote’s home button, so that you can reasign it to perform custom tasks like launching an app you use often.

FireStarter is a home screen replacement app that gives you quicker access to sideloaded apps without needing your Fire TV or Fire TV Stick to be rooted.
