Calibre blocks import of KFX format from Kindle devices regardless of the firmware you are running. You can enable import of KFX using the "kfx_input_set_format_virtual" plugin tweak as described in the first post of this thread. However it would be pointless since there is currently no way to remove the KFX DRM from those books.

See the thread Dealing with Kindle for PC/Mac 1.19 (and later) and KFX in calibre for alternate methods of importing calibre books. Since you own a Kindle device Method 3 would be the best choice for you.

And if you haven't already you should research the DeDRM plugin available from Apprentice Harper's GitHub.

I suspect that you installed it sometime ago and forgot about it.
