I am looking at using firebird too. I have worked on various 'TV' based systems and the most common solution I have seen to this problem is (and this is what I am attempting when I have the time) is to run the browser (firebird in our case) without borders or any menu bars and simply have it load up a HTML interface that is TV Safe and that allows you to navigate (i.e. provides a URL bar at the very least and can include anything else you need or want for fast browsing).
