You can find the instructions for connecting Kindle Fire to the ADB in a PDF of instructions provided by Amazon.

Paraphrased from the document:

  1. Edit the adb_usb.ini file (located in ~/.android/)

  2. Add the lines:

    0x1949
0x0006

  3. Save the file.

  4. Run these commands to restart adb:

    adb kill-server
adb start-server 
adb devices

NOTE: For Windows 7 users you need to download an additional driver.
