Book Overview

Firefox For Dummies gives you the inside scoop on the exciting new browser from the Web wizard that got it started. The book's author, Blake Ross, began developing Firefox as a teenager. Once available to the world, the simple and powerful tool was an instant hit claiming a sizable share of the Web browser market with over 140 million downloads. In this book Blake not only gives you the lowdown on how to use Firefox for safe Web searching, but he also shares his insight into how the product came to life. It's a combination of practical tech insight and a good story that is rare in computer books. Topics covered include downloading and installing Firefox, creating a home page, searching with Google, creating customized themes and toolbars, using tabbed browsing, downloading and saving files, maintaining security and privacy, eliminating annoying popups, and adding Firefox extensions.

Firefox for Dummies

By Thriftbooks.com User, August 4, 2006

I asked to review this book for one reason only: my parents. You see, I visited them this summer and helped them upgrade their graphite iBook SE to OS X 10.2 (it's what they had, forgive me!), as well as setting them up with a copy of Firefox, as Safari wasn't included on their installation disks, and the only version I could find online was for a later OS X version. Now, my father is a bit on the...obsessive side. He will...

Easy to read and understand!

By Thriftbooks.com User, July 4, 2006

I'm not really a "computer person" but I would say I know my way around the Web decently. I was given this book as a gift from my daughter after one too many complaint about pop-ups or viruses, I suppose. After the initial annoyance of being given a book "for dummies" I actually cracked it open and was convinced to try Firefox. Author Ross does a great job of walking you through using Firefox, A to Z, and even further. I've...

I didn't expect much, but I was pleasantly surprised!

By Thriftbooks.com User, July 3, 2006

I'll confess... I didn't expect much from this book. Firefox For Dummies by Blake Ross was, in my opinion, going to be a "me too" book about the joys of using Firefox over Internet Explorer. But much to my surprise, this may be one of my favorite Firefox books now... Contents: Part 1 - Getting Fired Up: Why You Should Fire Your Old Browser; Finding Your Way Around Firefox; Setting Up Firefox Part 2 - Ready, Aim, Firefox:...

Best Firefox books for end-users

By Thriftbooks.com User, May 8, 2006

I own five books on Firefox: Firefox Hacks, Firefox and Thunderbird Garage, Firefox Secrets, Firefox and Thunderbird (beyond Browsing and Email), and this one: Firefox for Dummies. Although I like to have more than one book on a particular subject I can confidently say that - for me - this book alone makes the other four superfluous. It describes all the essential parts in enough detail and in simple language that every non-geek...

Great FireFox Book By FireFox Co-Creator

By Thriftbooks.com User, January 13, 2006

I received the book today. I admit that I've been a FireFox user for long time so I know many of the information mentioned in the book. But I believe the book is a great book for new users and a great way to convince other web browsers that it is definitely time to switch to FireFox! Well written book with helpful tips and shortcuts. Recommended for everybody.
