The firmware doesn't affect the contrast.

No hoops need to be jumped through unless you want to do the third party modifications such as different screensavers or altering the fonts. Neither of which are essential for proper operation of the Kindle 3.

The contrast of the Kindle 3 display is significantly better than contrast of the display on a Kindle 1.

It isn't. Its worse.
What exactly about the display do you not like? If it is very low contrast then the display is faulty in some manner. Take a photo of the screen if you can.
