Firehbbtv extension is abandoned, but you can install it using an old Firefox version (<52 as far I remember). Make sure the automatic updates are disabled if you want to keep the extension available.

There is another HbbTV plugin named hybridTV (https://github.com/karl-rousseau/HybridTvViewer) It works fine, but it is in development.

There is also a third option, using the opera (now called vewd) SDK. You can find the info and the virtual machine downloads visiting https://www.vewd.com/products-services/vewd-tv-emulator/
