Just use this code.

 Intent browserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
             Uri.parse(url));
      startActivity(browserIntent);

Kindle fire is an amazon specific book reading application. If you want to install any application in it, you need to first root the device. Try installing apk of Daroon Player (available on their website) and then install your application. It will work.
