I have only just begun using this book. Firefox, being so highly configurable, needs this readable guide to its insides. Looks good.

George Sinnott, USA

I'm impressed with the book, even though I seem not much interested in going too deep into the secrets. I certainly like Firefox over the alternates.

Vern Edwards, USA

An excellent introduction to Firefox and very timely as I was in the middle of finding my way around.

Ted Chrisfield, Australia

A very well written book and it's title is spot on as it really taught me some "Secrets" about the "Firefox" browser that I have been unable to find anywhere else.

I received my copy some days ago and couldn’t stop reading it. Although I consider myself an expert when it comes to “standard software”, I was still able to get some tips and secrets out of it.

EXCELLENT book - it convinced me to forget IE and go Firefox all the way

Ed Darino

Firefox Secrets is a must for anyone that develops websites or want an alternative browser.
In a short time I have discovered how to improve my sites visibility with the help of this book.
The extra bonuses are a plus as well.
Thanks
