Support for Chromecast comes through the individual apps.
So you open your Netflix app on the phone, start a movie and hit the "chromecast" button in the Netflix app. It will then move the video to your tv.
So as long as the app makers update their Kindle Fire apps with the "chromecast software button" then it should work just fine.
The other option at the moment is the Chrome web broswer on mac or PC. You can mirror a tab of the browser to the tv. So in this case, you could go to any website and it will mirror the entire tab. If you want fullscreen video, you have to set the computer to full screen which means no fullscreen video on the tv while you are surfing the web in another tab.
Google opened up the APK for developers though (and I read somewhere that Chromecast has already been hacked/rooted/etc). So it will be interseting to see what other uses the community comes up with.
