You might want to consider installing the handy program called Go Launcher EX, which allows you to customize your Kindle Fire user interface without having to root the device. One of my biggest issues with Amazon’s forked version of the Android operating system is that the user interface isn’t easily customizable. Afterward you can start downloading great apps such as Grooveshark or HD Dolphin Browser, both of which are unavailable from Amazon. To do this, go to Settings, Device and turn on Allow Installation of Applications.
To get started with these app stores, you must first configure your Kindle Fire to be able to download and install apps from third-party app stores. Pay a visit to GetJar, Only Android, Opera’s app store, or SlideMe on your Kindle Fire, however, and you can download and install hundreds of non-Amazon-approved apps. And good luck downloading apps from Play to your Kindle Fire–you can’t, unless you’re prepared to do some serious tinkering.

To configure the browser to serve up the full desktop versions of websites, open the Kindle Fire Browser app, go to the bottom of the screen and enter the browser settings, and choose Desktop or mobile view.
For me, the Kindle Fire has more than enough screen real estate to support full websites. Other badly stripped-down sites include CNN, ESPN, and Gmail. The mobile version of Facebook is fine when you’re on your iPhone or Android handset, but the stripped-down version seems inadequate on the Kindle Fire.
