How to install Adobe Flash on your Kindle Fire HD
So you got an Amazon Kindle Fire HD but some of the web sites you want to view do not work right because it is missing a flash player. No Youtube, no embedded videos on web pages etc. You go to the Amazon app store and look for Adobe flash player but its not there. What do you do now? We will show you how to download and install Adobe flash player so you can have the full web experience.
Keep in mind that this is a hack because Adobe no longer supports Flash on android devices.
You will need to enable 3rd party applications on the device since you will be loading the applications from other sources outside of the Amazon app store. To do this just pull down the menu bar at the top of your Kindle and click the “More” button on the top right side. Now scroll down until you see the “Device” section and click it. Now look for the option that says “Allow installation of applications” from unknown sources and set it to “ON”. You can reset this option once the applications are installed.
Now go to the app store on your Kindle Fire HD and install the ES file explorer app. If you can not locate the ES file manager in the app store then you can download ES file explorer from this link: http://tinyurl.com/btkbvn6
Now open your web browser on the Kindle Fire HD and enter the TinyURl link below. We have shortened the links to make it easier to enter them on your Kindle.
This first link is for the Dolphin browser. This is needed because the built in Silk browser does not support Flash at all.http://tinyurl.com/9ojctcx
The file will download to the download folder on your Kindle. Once this is complete then you can download the Adobe flash player. It is available from this link, http://tinyurl.com/c5f69z2
After both files are downloaded open the ES file explorer app and tap the download folder to locate the above two files. tap on the Dolphin file first and install it then tap the Flash player file to install it. Under your Apps tab you will see the new Dolphin browser, use it anytime you need flash. The original Silk browser is still installed if you want to use it but the Dolphin browser has many more features so give it a try and let us know if you have any questions.
Again try your Dolphin browser on flash sites to check the operation.

Thanks..
This worked great and now my Kindle can play flash videos, just what I needed.
I tried the 1st link but after it downloads, I click on it and it just says cannot open file. I made sure I have the settings set to “allow installation of applications”. Any ideas?
Hello,
Did the download complete? That site is very busy and their server seems a bit overloaded right now due to the traffic. It almost sounds like your download had not quite completed or was corrupted. Try it again and see if you get the same results. Let us know if you still have trouble.
I got it to work after downloading ES file explorer. Thanks!
Thank you so, so much! I was ready to send my new Kindle Fire back. Your directions were very clear and worked perfectly. Thanks again!!
Omg!!!!! Thank you so much! I tried for ever to figure out how to make flash player available on my kindle fire. I was literally so close to have my mom return this thing. Again, Thanks a lot!!
I keep getting “Cannot Open File”
Are you using the ES file explorer program to open the apk files?
Worked perfectly -though very important you download the exact files listed here as initially i had downloaded flash from elsewhere, so it wasn’t working. Once I deleted the old flash file (using the es file app) and then downloaded the one linked here, flash and dolphin worked just fine. Thank you
I’ ‘ve successfully installed the Dolphin app, though, it doesn’t’ t show under the app tab. Did something go wrong?
Try going back into Es file explorer and reinstalling the app. It will overwrite the original install ans should create the icon in the app tab.
Can you do a step-by-step on what you do after you do all that and try to buy a movie? I’m confused on what to do!!
Soooo after installing and uninstalling numerous apps I’ve finally managed to actually be allowed on itv player my main reason for needing Adobe, however when I click play I get a blue lego brick thing.. lol, can play vids on youtube no probs?
Hello Candy,
Are you using the Dolphin browser? The Silk browser that comes with the Kindle will not work with the Flash plugin. Let us know and we will try to help get you going.
Hello Sydney,
What service are you trying to buy a movie with? We should be able to help but we will need the additional information.
Thanks,
CCL Tech
Thanks for your help with the flash player. However I can’t get ITV Player to work using the dolphin browser. Says I have to Install ITV Player, but when I click install it says
“you don’t have any devices”
What’s my next move?
Many thanks
Does this work on the Kindle Fire (not HD). I just got the Kindle Fire for Christmas and can’t seem to figure out if it matters if I use this on the regular kindle and not the HD. Thanks
It works with the regular Kindle fire too
Thank you so much! It worked great and I am happy again. After reading and watching several videos this was the easiest to understand. Thanks so much!
can’t get the link for dolphin to open…..already have the ed and aside downloaded..what am I doing wrong
that was to be ES and Adobe
If you open our web site on your Kindle and go to this article and directly tap on the link to should open and download. It may not work it you just enter the link into your browser. Try it and let us know, we will be glad to help you out.
Thanks so much for the detailed instructions – works great! I’m thinking of making the Dophin browser my default since it seems to be faster than the Silk.
wow!! first I thought it wouldn’t work…but it did!!! thx
hi
thanks have succesfully downloaded both dolphin and adobe on my kindle fire, when i go yo itv player it ionly recognises my phone and says not compatable help please
I’ve installed dolphin and es and Adobe but still can’t get itv player to work. Please could you give me EASY to understand steps. Thanks
Hi I have tried deleting and reinstalling flash but still says not compatible
Yes this actually works. Thanks a million
The instructions are clear and work well, however, it still wont allow me to watch ITV player on my kindle HD
Despite showing on the Player app page that it is installed, the itv player will not work???
Confused.com or what…lol
Why is it that BBC Player took seconds to install and work, whereas ITV doesnt…aaaargh

Thanks it works a treat
I try to download dolphin browser but when I click on the link it says The server closed the connection without sending any data what happened?or whats going on?
I did all this. I open the dolphin browser, go my facebook page, click on Candy Crush (which I could not play without the Adobe flash) and I get a message from Kindle “This app is trying to open a link with an external market that is not available on kindle fire. Would you like to open this link with the Amazon Appstore instead.” I click continue and it just sits and spins. I try to click continue instead and it takes me to the ap store…WTF??????
Wow…. what a great write up, this has helped me so much and just got to get mine working now dad’s is working fine. I will bookmark this site and come back to read more of your fab articles I can not thank you enough, without someone like you I would had never got this working.
Thank you very much!!! I thought I would never get Dolphin and Flash player back. I accidentally deleted them. I couldn’t believe that I couldn’t just re-download them.
I keep getting a message that wants to open my flash through amazon.
Something about External market link
Okay so this is super-complicated BUT IT WORKS!!! Hooray!!!
omg!! that’s brilliant..i am useless at technical stuff but even I could follow instructions & it worked.my son will be so chuffed tomorrow when I tell him he can use Education City now..thanks you

AWESOME! Follow the steps exactly… And it works perfectly! Thanks!
I cannot for the sake of me get my kindle fire HD to open up games like farmville 2 I may have it really messed up by now as I have tried to install dolphin and then adobe flash and still it will not open. I am dumb as dirt I suppose. Can anyone help me please? Thanking our in advance.
Thanks alot for this. I have a kindle fire HD and I can now use the Adobe flash Player. However, there was a section that said, use as-I chose android phone cos the was no kindle option. I don’t know if that’s the reason why-there’s no sound when I watch movies and every sound system is in proper order. Thanks
I never comment on sites of this nature, but I had to tell you your tutorial is easy, clear, and PERFECT. You just made my mother a very happy camper, lolz.
I have a kindle fire hd. Trying to download flash player. Did everything as directed . Says download complete. Cannot open dolphin file and says I already have the es file explorer. But can’t open file what do I do?
It took a little trial and error but I think I have flash player installed. I already had the reader. I am on dolphin browser.haven’t figured it out yet but was able to download flash player after a feet different tries. Now going to try it out and I will give you s an update. Thank you so much.
This worked. Now I can use my kindle.
Thanks for this very clear and easy to read and execute advice. Flash playing now working perfectly on Kindle fire HD.
I’ve tried downloading these but it keeps saying download unsuccessful. Only one succeeded to download. When I tried to click on it, it says ‘cannot open file’. What should I do?
When I try to install the flash player it gives me a message that states “There is a problem parsing the package.”

No puedo descargar la aplicación
Worked great! Thank you, but the Dolphin Browser keeps crashing….any tips on that??
I followed your instructions and was able to download Dolphin and Adobe Flash Player very easily. But, when I go to my Apps tab, Dolphin Isn’t there. What’s wrong?
Never mind. I rebooted and now it’s there!
You are my hero! Thank you!
Wow, it works. Couldn’t find dolphin in APPS at first until I realised i was in cloud. So on apps screen at top where it says cloud/device i tapped device and there was Dolphin and flash. Does this mean that it won’t be saved to cloud?
I couldn’t get this to work. My Wife likes to watch jewellerymaker.com TV so I followed the guidelines above and installed Dolphin and adobe on her KindleHD. When I open the jewellrymaker website and try to play the show it displays a ‘Save As’ box prompting me to save ‘playlist.m3u8′. Whether I save it or not, nothing happens. Any advice would be very welcome.
great instructions, everything went just as you said… but still Club Penguin will not allow my daughter to play. any thing special just for club penguin?
Thanks!
Thank You!!! I received my Kindle Fire HD 8.9 last summer as a gift. I was pissed when I discovered that Adobe no longer supported Flash on Android devices. Now I’m able to listen and watch things I couldn’t access.
Thanks so much for this!
I have installed the dolphin browser and adobe file but i am still unable to play flash player. The video starts out as if it is going to work and then just crashes…any suggestions.
My daughter is constantly bothering me tp get on her clup penguin account from my kindle fire hd, but even after downloadong dolphin and adobe, i am still not able to access it. It says my device is not compatible. Is there anything else i can do?
Every time I open the Dolphin browser it takes me to the google store not to the browser. How do I get it to go to another site?
I’ve gone through the process of installing Dolphin browser and then Adobe Flash three times. I can get sound but no video. Is there a setting I’m missing?
Whoa….such a handy internet site.|
omg! you are awesome! Now i can get watch my anime on my Kindle 8.9!! Thanks!!!

This worked great but then Amazon did an update earlier this week and now I can’t use Adobe flash again. Any ideas?
Every time I try to download the dolphin browser from the link on this site and I keep getting a download failed message. I have the ES browser installed and was able to download the adobe flash player to download using the link on this site, but cannot download dolphin browser. Please help.
This may work and all, but…
Wouldn’t this void my 2 year warranty since it’s a hack. I know that Adobe stopped supporting flash for Android products, which is very stupid on their part. (Just wanted to know since I can’t contact Amazon on this. lol)
Great post.
Useful information. Lucky me I discovered your web site unintentionally, and I’m surprised why this coincidence did not

My flash player is not loading on my device, however. I had the ES file explorer downloaded already, and I downloaded the Dolphin browser with the flash player. I checked all of the settings for the browser and it says that the flash is set to always on. I think everything finished downloading correctly and installing without any problems, but when I try to stream a video I get a little message saying the flash plug-in couldn’t load. I’m not sure what is wrong with it.
Please help!
Omg Thanks a lot Dude, Checked out the page and it’s legit, I’m certainly not standing in line next time !
I downloaded it and it works fine with Facebook videos now but it still won’t let me watch YouTube videos. Help!!
Unquestionably believe that that you stated.
Your favorite justification appeared to be at the web the easiest factor to have in mind of.
I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while other people consider issues that they plainly don’t know about.
You managed to hit the nail upon the top and outlined out the whole thing without having side effect
, people can take a signal. Will probably be again to get more.
Thank you
