Firefox Secrets - A Need-To-Know Guide
Sitepoint has released another great book. Firefox Secrets - A Need-To-Know Guide is written by Cheah Chu Yeow and is a comprehensive book for both developers and regular surfers on how to get the most out of this increasingly popular browser.
The book covers several important sides of the browser, such as:
- How you can make the jump from Internet Explorer to Firefox
- Reading RSS feeds
- The ever-increasing amount of really useful extensions
- The list of really important tools for web developers
With this book also comes a CD with all the great Mozilla projects: the Firefox web browser, Thunderbird (email client), and a handy selection of Firefox extensions and themes.
As far as I know you can only get this book at O'Reilly ($29.95), Sitepoint ($29.95) and at Amazon
