I have just downloaded and installed Firefox on my Kindle Fire. Is it automatically the web browser on my kindle or is it necessary to modify the kindle op syst so that firefox is the default browser.

After you install Firefox, clicking on a link in another program should cause the Kindle to prompt you to choose a web browser and offer to set a default.

If this doesn't happen, you might first need to open the "Applications" section of the Kindle settings app, tap on your old default browser, and then press the "Clear Defaults" button.
