Why not Kindle Fire?

I read on CNN that a new Firefox browser is available. So I went to mozilla.com and the download link took me to Google Play... dead end :-( Fortunately there is download available for all apps Index of /pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases I downloaded the latest Firefox 14 mobile version and it works well with some nice new features. Why is it not officially available for Kindle Fire?

Hi,
Thanks for mentioning this, I was wondering if you found the link in an article or elsewhere. The following article has a link to the FTP site with the .apk file.

Have a macbook pro running osx lion, connected a kindle fire using micro usb to transfer pictures and the disk icon won't show up on the desktop. When I ran disk utilities the kindle does show up there. Any thoughts as to why it's not recognizing?

Precisely why it's not an iPad, and why it doesn't cost very much. An Apple rep would tell you how to connect an iPad to every computer.

Why does Adobe not support tablets or Kindle Fire

Why does Adobe not support tablets or Kindle fire?

You have it backwards.
Tablets (Kindle, Galaxy, iPad) don't support Flash.
Chronologically:
2008 (March) - Apple® releases the first iPhone, using iOS®. Steve Jobs is insistent and adamant that iOS® is NOT compatible with Flash® and NEVER WILL BE. Jobs' reasoning is that playing Flash® content is processor consumptive and it drains batteries, thus shortening the life of them in mobile devices. In six years, that hasn't changed. Not for the iPhone®, iPad® or iPod® Touch™. It never will change and there never will be a Flash Player® for iOS®.
2008 (September) - Google® introduces Android™ to compete with iOS®, for people who don't want to pay what Apple® is asking for an iPhone®. Android®, unlike its Apple® counterpart IS compatible with Flash®.
2012 (June) - Android™ (Google®) announces the end of support for Flash® with Android™ 4.3. Going forward NO Android™ devices will be compatible with Flash®, but older versions on older devices can still be loaded with "legacy" builds still available from Adobe®. Android™ (Google®) cites the same reason Apple® did for the decision to end support of Flash®. Adobe® continues to release security patches to Flash Player® for Android™ until September 2013, announcing the "end of life" for Android™ Flash® September 10.

Why is it that Kindle fire supports flash in the USA and not UK?

Why is it that Kindle fire supports flash in the USA and not UK? This is ridiculous and annoying

In silk the US version gives you the opportunity to enable or disable flash, it doesn't exist in the UK one. Speaking to amazon.com they can't understand why it's not there but speaking to amazon.co.uk they say kindle doesn't support flash. As a result my daughter can't view any flash websites, specifically the homework website we were intending her to be able to use on her new kindle. Total waste of money.

Why does OS X Yosemite not recognize my Kindle Fire HD?

I recently upgraded to the OS X Yosemite on my MacBook Pro 13" and I love this new operating system. It's so sleek!
However, I noticed that when I connected my Kindle Fire HD through USB connection to my Mac, my Kindle wasn't recognised.
Andriod File Transfer did recognise the Kindle but I cannot transfer any files. Therefore, it is only offering information what I currently have on my Kindle.
I assume this a problem with OS X Yosemite and can anyone offer me any help on this matter?

OK, apologies, the answer is simple, but easily forgotten because it's so long since I had to do this! Just go to https://www.android.com/filetransfer/ and download and run the Android File Transfer utility and your Kindle will appear on your desktop immediately, assuming you are using a suitable cable.
I think this is an issue only because you have to do it once-only, and then everything runs smoothly, which means that you have long enough to forget it between whenever you update your OS.
Don't know about the rest of you, but I'd rather get on with using my Mac than fiddle with my OS, so this was an unexpected hurdle. Hope this helps somebody other than me!

Why can't I install the flash player on my Kindle Fire???

I have tried several times to install the flash player on my Kindle Fire but it keeps telling me there is an issue opening the download. How am I able to download it yet am unable to install it. It makes no sense to me why it would be able to download yet not be able to open the installation. Is this a problem that is being fixed? I've tried to "troubleshoot" this issue myself but there is little information on it. If the Kindle Fire is unable to install the Adobe Flash player then there needs to be some changes made either on your companies part or Amazons. There are apps offered on the Kindles that need this flash player in order to operate. If you could back to me with an answer as soon as possible I would greatly aprreciate it. Thank you.

Hi,
Although we continue to provide security and patch releases for Android devices which originally shipped with Adobe Flash Player, new feature development for the Android browser has drawn to a close as we shift our focus to Adobe AIR for mobile applications. For more details on the rationale for our decision I refer you to the following article.

The following article describes how to manually install the Adobe Flash Player manually on your Android device.

Another alternative is to install the SkyFire browser, which appears to support Flash Video.

Bluetooth speakers not working on kindle fire HD 7...

I have a kindle fire HD 7" and bluetooth is not working for in-call audio
When the device is paired with my bluetooth speakers, the sounds of the volume changes and other gui clicks go out over the bluetooth speakers but the actual audio of the skype video call still go via the kindle's builtin speakers.
NOTES:
- I made sure to connect to bluetooth speaker before starting skype.
- Other applications are working with my bluetooth speakers (e.g. playing music, spotify radio, etc)

I have a reply from Amazon on this issue and have used the contact details they provided to contact Skype BUT with NO response!!!! Why oh why do Skype ignore its users??????
Amazon respnse:
Thank you for contacting Amazon Appstore Support.
I'm sorry to hear that you have had issues using your Bluetooth speaker with Skype.
There is an explanation for this, however, I must warn you that it is a bit technical.
Apps on the Kindle Fire play audio through one channel which does support Bluetooth audio. Device sounds on the Kindle Fire play audio through a different channel which does not support Bluetooth.
Now the problem is that when the developers of Skype created Skype for Kindle Fire they routed the sound through the device sound channel opposed to the Apps channel.
This means that that Skype does not support Bluetooth speakers.
As the app was not developed by Amazon, you may want to contact the developer of the app, Skype Software, for product support and troubleshooting.
I've provided the contact information below:

I do apologise for the inconvenience.
Thanks for your interest in Amazon Appstore.

I generated responsive layout and my mp4 videos do not play in kindle Fire

They play on all other devices. This is Kindle Fire 7" HD

How is the video embedded? Can you play the video from Kindle Fire when
it is not embedded in the page?
A quick Google search shows up a lot of problems on Silk with video.
Since it works on other browsers, I suspect that the Kindle is culprit here.
Kind regards,

Why won't Firefox for Android on my Kindle Fire HD play YouTube videos?

The default browser (Silk) on the Kindle Fire HD plays YouTube videos. Both Firefox for Android and Silk obviously use the same operating system and hardware. What needs to be done to/with the Firefox for Android browser so that it will play YouTube videos. Firefox on my desktop machine plays YouTube videos.

There is the old insecure Flash 11.1 Plugin that Adobe (and Google Play) has not supported since Android 4.0. As long as you have Android 4.3 or older then you can get the Flash plugin to work in manual install though Android 4.4 has made it so Flash will not work.
However Mozilla has made a workaround for Flash can still work in Firefox on Android 4.4 in as early as Firefox 27.0 if I recall.
There is this thread on getting Flash installed however the poster mentions Dolphin and not Firefox instead.
http://www.amazon.com/forum/kindle?_encoding=UTF8&cdForum=Fx1D7SY3BVSESG&cdThread=TxTR71JR4GVXQM
Not that some sites (News sites are among some I encountered) have since lately been requiring users using Flash 11.1 on Android, PlayBook and Flash 11.2.x on Linux to upgrade to more current (not possible) to view their Flash videos.

Why can't I Skype with a kindle fire HD?

I would love to Skype with my family in another state but I am UN able to I am new to a kindle fire HD please help

Did all that and more. Reset to factory defaults on the advise of their techs. Stripped all other apps and Skype worked fine for two weeks. As soon as I installed Mapquest, Skype started crashing again. Removed Mapquest, still crashes. The problem is that the longer Skype is installed on a kindle, the more problems show up. I have been dealing with Amazon on this for two months and their only solution is to replace the unit, a move I don't believe will solve the problem. This is an OS and software conflict problem I believe. If anyone has had a Kindle Fire HD work for months without Skype problems, I would love to hear it, because as of yet I have not seen a single report of that being the case.

Folios do not appear in Kindle Fire edition

Trying to test (side load) on the Kindle Fire currently with a multi-folio edition using DPS Pro. I have been following these instructions http://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishingsuite/articles/targeting-amazon-kindle-fire.h tml
For some reason the library view on the App is blank. I cannot get the Folios to appear. Anyone have a similar problem?

Hi Casey,
thank you very much for your help. It seems as amazon has changed the acceptance of "not working" Apps and does not publish/supress them any more. I did as you described and get back an rejection:
Your app has failed a test case.
Bug Description: Functionality Failure
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download,install and launch the app
2. Blank screen appears.
OS/Device(s)/Form Factor: 4.0.3/Samsung Tab2/Tablet.
Seems like its not possible to publish to kindle at the moment? Do you have a contact at amazon, who could maybe assist me?
Thanks again in advance
