In this article we will show you how to Install Firefox on a Kindle. Amazon wants as many Kindle Fire owners as possible to use its Silk browser. In their App Store, they don’t have any other browsers. You can find a way to install Google Play on your Fire to get more browser options.
But if you don’t know much about technology, you probably won’t go through all that trouble just to install a browser. Mozilla Firefox is a popular web browser that is used all over the world. Mozilla Firefox is a free and open source web browser. It lets you browse in private and deletes your search history on its own.
Firefox is a great way to get to sports, news, entertainment, and other things. It lets you see the best stuff on the Internet from all over the world. This free browsing software is great for FireStick users because it lets them go to any website they want without having to worry about compatibility issues. You can also go to the official Firefox support site to know more information.
How to Install Firefox on a Kindle
Before you can install Firefox on your Kindle HDX, you need to change some settings on it. Take out your HDX and let’s get to work.
- Swipe down from the top of your Kindle Fire HDX to access the options > tap “Settings.”
- Go to “Applications.”
- Tap “Allow Apps from Unknown Sources” right at the upper part of this sub-menu. Toggle the slider button to the “On” position at the top. (It turns orange when permitted.)
Download Firefox Aurora
Aurora is the version of Firefox that you need to install. This is the release for mobile developers. We know it works because we use it ourselves. Google Play is the only place you can get any other version. You can open Silk Browser on your Kindle Fire HDX from the home screen or from the Apps area. To get Firefox Aurora on your Kindle, you will now go to the site where you can download it.
- Head over to Mozilla and download the developer edition of Firefox Aurora.
- A pop-up will open at the bottom of your Kindle Fire HDX that says: “This type of file can harm your device. Do you want to keep fennec-47.0a2.multi.android-arm.apk anyway?” Tap OK.
- Swipe the menu down from the top of the Kindle HDX and tap on the download to install.
- Before you install Aurora, your device is nice enough to let you know. It just says that Aurora can use some Privacy and Device Access features. Again, it is okay. In the bottom right corner, click the Install button.
- You will see the Aurora Firefox browser installing. It then lets you know when installation has been successful.
- Open the Aurora browser in the lower right-hand corner or select “Done.” The Aurora icon is now on your Kindle Fire home screen menu and appears in your Apps.
