I was able to create a Firefox Account, which was verified on 8 January 2020; however, when I typed into the "Silk" Browser to get to where it looked like I would be able to download the "Firefox Browser", I was re-routed to the Amazon "Appstore".

Amazon's "Appstore" claims that the Firefox Browser is Currently Unavailable! So, I submitted a report to Amazon, as it seems to me that Amazon wants those who have Amazon Tablets, to use only Amazon's Programs!

What do I have to do to be able to use what I want to use? Namely, the Firefox Browser?

You'll have to side-load the Google playstore into your kindle, then download firefox from that. Follow the instructions here, https://www.howtogeek.com/232726/how-to-install-the-google-play-store-on-your-amazon-fire-tablet/
