  Book Information

Firefox Hacks is ideal for power users who want to take full
advantage of Firefox from Mozilla, the next-generation web
browser that is rapidly subverting Internet Explorer's
once-dominant audience. It's also the first book that
specifically dedicates itself to this technology.

Firefox is winning such widespread approval for a number of
reasons, including the fact that it lets users browse faster
and more efficiently. Perhaps its most appealing strength,
though, is its increased security something that is covered
in great detail in Firefox Hacks.

Clearly the web browser of the future, Firefox includes most
of the features that browser users are familiar with, along
with several new features, such as a bookmarks toolbar and
tabbed pages that allow users to quickly switch among
several web sites.

Firefox Hacks offers all the valuable tips and tools you
need to maximize the effectiveness of this hot web
application. It's all covered, including how to customize
its deployment, appearance, features, and functionality.
You'll even learn how to install, use, and alter extensions
and plug-ins. Aimed at clever people who may or may not be
capable of basic programming tasks, this convenient resource
describes 100 techniques for 100 strategies that effectively
exploit Firefox.

Or, put another way, readers of every stripe will find all
the user-friendly tips, tools, and tricks they need to make
a productive switch to Firefox. With Firefox Hacks, a
superior and safer browsing experience is truly only pages
away.

The latest in O'Reilly's celebrated Hacks series, Firefox
Hacks smartly complements other web-application titles such
as Google Hacks and PayPal Hacks.
