Is your system using the EFI bootloader? Maybe grub-efi-amd64 is
installed and it is not using grub-pc.

If your system has this directory
/sys/firmware/efi/

Then you using efi and the grub-pc is not needed.

Also you should check to see that grub-efi-amd64 is installed. If so
grub-pc is not needed, in fact I think it should have been
uninstalled.

All of this is working with fire so you should probably get a second
opinion before doing anything.
