The 8012 has better RC especially if you consider the new Audyssey One EVO script and has independent sub outs.
The Yamaha is newer and supports newer features like 8K/2.1.
Here is a comparison that should help.

I sent most of the cables back but kept a few and they work fine on the RX-A660BL.
I thought Yamaha was bullet proof based on my 2000s receiver that still functions perfectly, but now you need to google every model of receiver sold and look at the multiple problems people are posting on AV forums. I suppose the RX-A8A has been out 3 or 4 years so at least most of the problems (and fixes) are somewhat documented.

My fear is that it is the Yamaha HDMI board, which I had problems with on an earlier Aventage in the series and a service guy told me they are suspect.

This is assuming your fire tv is connected to your TV, as you are using ARC to send the audio to receiver. As the cable, port are all same between TV and Receiver, it should not be an issue with the common hardware.
Alternately, have you tried putting your Fire tv in one of the hdmi port on receiver? Does that work?
You're not completely wrong either.
If you can find a used one that has the features you need, I would agree.
Another problem, people often pay for some features "just in case" and never use them.

There are also umpteen different options for HDMI and CEC in both the TV and the receiver - possible that a different selection will fix it too. Like, maybe cable doesn't support eARC or something.
