Missing “Open App” button
1. Summary
On the Vega Fire TV device, inside the app details page in “Settings > Applications > Manage Installed Applications” I’m not able to find the “Open App” button, like we use to have on Android-based Fire TVs.

This applies to all the apps installed on the device (from the store or sideloaded)

2. Steps to Reproduce
- Install an app from the store (or sideload an app using CLI or any other method)

- Select the app you just installed
3. Observed Behavior
The first button avaialble is “Force stop”, and there’s no “Open App” button in the list
4. Expected Behavior
I’m expecting an “Open App Button”
4.a Possible Root Cause & Temporary Workaround
When using an app downloaded from the store, you’ll find it under “Your App and Channels” and then you can open it by selecting it. When using a sideloaded app, the app doesn’t even show there, so the only solution we found is to launch it from CLI.
