So my question is.... is the Silk browser that Amazon Fire uses OK for this purpose? (just wondering because I know somebody mentioned IE8 not being suitable.

That "IE8" was from 2011 to 2009, as long as your Silk Browser is updated with a newer Javascript support, it'll work (and it did).
For the record, if the browser or device isn't supported by bitaddress like Window7's Internet Explorer 8, the tool will not be able to create a paper wallet entirely.

Amazon Fire was a bit of a waste though since you can't now use it online.
You could've dedicated an offline machine without an internal drive, then use an "amnesiac" OS that's installed on a flash drive like 'TailsOS' to launch bitaddress offline.
You can destroy that Flash Drive later if you want since it's cheap, although everything you did while it was active was on your RAM (will not linger after a few seconds once depowered)

I made them by entering a very long string of numbers and letters in the BrainWallet box.....not that they are a brain wallet - I will never remember the numbers/figures, but that is the way I have made all my addresses over the past 11 yrs & it has worked for me.

Yeah, that was only for additional entropy for "seedTime" and the majority of the entropy is still generated with its SecureRandom function.

Thank you. TailsOS, etc is not something I am familiar with.
