Fennec installs on Kindle HD, but when selected, opens and 3-5 seconds later drops out. Is there support coming?

Gets installed-as shown; gets icon-as shown; opens fine from icon--crashes back to icon after 3-5 seconds of display of homepage.

fennec-15.0 being used.

Are there other parameters I need to manipulate to get this to work? Have tried automatic and mobile setting for firefox--same results.

Did something a little different and it worked. fennec 10.0 works without fail on kindle fire. I guess know that a level of support is established as a baseline, we should be able to walk it up from here. This is a Kindle Fire right out of the box. Two previous fennec 15.0 installs went fine, however fennec crashed after 3-5 seconds. I googled a couple more things and found where someone had gone to ftp site and pulled down 10.0. Definitely works. Clean install...open right up and has yet to crash. Have already browsed around a couple site and still going strong.
