Firefox is a popular browser app that allows you to surf anything using the internet. Though Firefox does not have a built-in AirPlay feature, you can screen mirror the Firefox browser to your Apple TV or AirPlay 2-enabled TV. By doing so, you can view web pages in a readable manner rather than in small fonts. Moreover, you can even stream videos in the browser, and watch them on a larger screen. In this article, we have mentioned the ways to AirPlay web pages, videos, and music from Firefox on an AirPlay-compatible TV.
