 Book does what you think it should.
How do you review a book??? It does what it says it does, it tells you about firefox and it is for people that have litte or no idea on what firefox is. The person I brought it for said it helped them out. They were glad to recieve it.
Another useful Dummies book
Although Firefox is coming up on version 3 and this book is for a much earlier version, most of what it said pertained to the version that I was using. LOTS of tricks, shortcuts and useful information. I hope they come out with a new book for the newest version, but this book is a gem despite being slightly outdated. Firefox is customizable and very user friendly. The more I play with Firefox, the more I like it. And this book helps add the joy to "rediscovering the Web".
 Outdated Book
I bought this book expecting to see examples of actual Firefox pages that matched the screen display. However, the book is so outdated that the figures in the book do not reflect what is shown on the actual Firefox screen. I've been ripped off...
Franchise comfort
For a beginner, the information in the "Dummies" book have the ease of use of a Wendy's, Applebee's, etc. Good, basic information, easy to digest.
 Blake Ross is no 'Dummie'
This is definitely a hands-on book. Blake Ross is a co-editor of Fierfox. He has an intimate knowledge of this web browser. Surprisingly, he writes in a clear, easily understood style. He starts out showing basic ideas about Firefox and moves to more advanced subjects such as tabbing, bookmarking in folders, etc. Anything you want to do with Firefox is written in a step-wise manner, so you get the results you want.
