Of course I realize for some people Fire OS is a feature rather than a bug.

I hate Fire OS too so I installed Nova launcher. You can't get to it from pressing the home button, but I make it the first icon on the Amazon homepage in case I hit the stupid home button. If you opened an app from Nova launcher you can just hit the back button to return to it. If Amazon would just let you arrange the icons in alphabetical order it wouldn't be so bad. You can also put all the Amazon crap you don't want to use in folders that makes it easier too.
I also use Power Toggles and put the Nova icon on the notification panel so I can access it quickly when I need to. I also put the wifi icon there so I can turn wifi on easily. If you use the wifi icon Amazon puts on the notification panel it takes you to settings rather than simply turning it on.
