Amazon has deactivated the YouTube app on the company’s Fire TV sticks four days ahead of schedule. According to FastCompany, Amazon pulled a “you can’t fire me, I quit!” Instead of opening the app, clicking the YouTube icon on a Fire TV now redirects users to a built-in internet browser, which people can theoretically use to access YouTube via the standard web portal.
YouTube has been deactivated on the Fire TV, but Amazon already has a fix

They have already added that link in Firefox Browser Home screen. So after we open the browser, have to just click on the Youtube Icon.
