Reading that article a little more closely, it looks like the location changed. It used to be under Settings > Applications and now it's under Settings > Security. If you can confirm that, we should have someone update the help article here.

Why has Amazon App store stopped offering Firefox?

Mozilla wanted to put the Android Firefox on the Amazon appstore as Mozilla did have Android Firefox 9.0 up there briefly years ago. However it was found that Amazon modified and resigned the apk which caused update problems so Mozilla pulled it shortly after. Mozilla has contacted Amazon many times about modifying this policy, so far Amazon has been unwilling with no progress from them since.
