Follow the above instruction and the adb_usb.ini file is located here:

1. Use a text editor and open the file adb_usb.ini. It's located at c:\Users\[User-Name] \.android\adb_usb.ini.

2. Then add 0x1949 to the end of the file.

3. Next save the file.

4. Next you will need to edit the file android_winusb.inf file. Use a text editor and open up this file 

C:\Program File(x86)\Android\andorid-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver 

(note: if you install your android sdk somewhere else then go to that location). When you installed Android SDK, the USB Driver package will also be there, if not you will have to download it. Note: if you can't edit the file ensure you have write permission to do so.

5.  Under section [Google.NTx86] and [Google.NTamd64] add the following:

;Kindle Fire
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006&MI_01

6. Now save the and close the file.
