In the silk browser? Not that I know of. You can sort them by "Last accessed," "title," and "number of visits." The default is title.

Try the dolphin browser as well, this will also let you view flash files as well... it also has a neat text feature to access your commonly used web sites, fast as chrome as well...
Get it from 1mobile site... this is far better than the Amazon offerings

Here's what I did . . . . but not all at one sitting. I'm talking specifically about my 8.9HD.
I went to settings and enabled apps from unknown sources.
I went to 1Mobile via the stock browser, found the download button and clicked it. As I recall, there was some weirdness about then finding the file to install, but I was ultimately able to. My recollection is that it showed up as downloaded in notifications and I tapped there to install it.
I browsed about 1Mobile. When I first did all this, I was looking for something completely different. Didn't end up finding it so just put 1Mobile in favorites and left it there.
When this talk of browsers came up, I thought I'd do some more checking so I used the icon in favorites to activate the 1Mobile app/website link. Searched for browsers or Firefox or something like that.
Oh, I'd also gone to settings in 1Mobile and set it so that anything I download via that site will d/l and install automatically so I didn't have to go searching for the file.
Found Firefox browser and d/l'd it. Installed just fine, but when I tap it to use it it closes right away. This happened with two separate install attempts with several days in between.
Found SkyFire and it was really slow to d/l at first. . . .but I did a restart of the wireless (toggled it off then on) and plugged in the device overnight and in the morning it had d/l'd and installed. Tapped to use it and, while not completely familiar, it seemed reasonably intuitive and worked just fine to go to a couple of different websites, including KB.
Found Chrome and decided to try that. Selected for d/l. It came and installed. I opened it and it worked. I used it for probably 15 minutes on different sites. Once or twice I got a message that it had stopped working or something but when I said OK it went right back to the page I'd been on.
It does work best with the bt keyboard as sometimes the on screen one doesn't readily pop up -- or, rather, if it knows you have a bt device available it won't pop up the on screen one. Turn bt off and it's fine. If you use Chrome on other devices, you should be able to sync bookmarks and such. . . .that was the reason I really wanted Firefox to work.![:-\](/s3/kboards.com/data/smilies/undecided.gif "Undecided :-\")
I'll look for the Dolphin, too, but I hadn't seen it in my initial searches. . .did see something called Maxthon.

So, once an alternative browser has been downloaded, installed and tested, is there any way to make it the default browser? The HD 7" won't let me delete Silk and I couldn't find any setting that would let me change my Fire so Chrome would open when I tap "Web" at the top. 
Not that I've found. I put chrome in my favorites and just start it instead of going to 'web'
