(It's funny, I hadn't used my Fire in a while and I forgot it was rooted. I wanted the update so I downloaded it from Amazon to my pc and then to USB it across. But my PC couldn't see my Fire (because it was rooted, common problem) So I faffed around for 2 hours trying to get it detect it. Eventually success and transferred the bin folder over. ejected, then went to update. No dough, it was greyed out. Check my firmware, yep, in the 2 hours I was faffing around it had updated itself and the Bin file I transferred was still sitting there, untouched.)

I've found a little trick that ALWAYS works for me trying to get my Kindle to be detected as a removable drive.
after it's plugged in and the "connected" USB screen is displayed on the KF, go into device manager and under "Disk Drives" locate the Kindle Fire - NOT the ADB device entry.
right click properties/policies and toggle the radio button to the opposite of what ever it is set for...
optimize for performance / optimize for quick removal
then click OK
you should see the device manager screen refresh, and your Kindle should become "visible" to your system.
You can go back in and toggle the setting back if you like....
don't know why but this works for me EVERYTIME!
