You do not mention what browser you are using on the DX. But if your using the Amazon provided one, you should consider using a different browser. (After updating the trusted certificate set yourself - that may be the only thing you need to change.)
We have had alternate browsers posted here, I do not know if any of them work (or are supposed to work) on the DX/DXG. You would have to do some search/research here to learn about what devices the various alternative browsers support.

If Amazon is still selling re-furbished DX/DXG devices, did they re-furbish the firmware also?
Perhaps some of our members who have recently purchased one of these re-furbished devices could tell us it the problem was 'fixed' by the re-furbisher.

I am using the provided browser, I did not even know about other ones. After your post I looked in the comprehensive list of hacks and did not find any there, there is a separate thread for SkipStone but it explicitly says there that it doesn't work for DX. The only thing I can think of is
Yifan Lu's Kindle 3.1 software upgrade, but it requires another kindle and I am not sure if it would make a difference for web searching.
After some experimenting I found that while urls (
www.m.wikipedia.org) and links from Google searches do not work, Wikipedia links from Yahoo searches do work, and once I am in internal Wikipedia links also work (?????). Unfortunately, this only works for Wikipedia and I have a feeling it won't last, some blogs and forums I used to read are now blinking out of access from saved urls, and both Google and Yahoo.
Customer service told me that they are not selling new DXs since 2013, and I remember reading a review back then which complained that Amazon did not bother to make even the most basic updates before they started reselling them.
