Product Description
Product Description
There's a new browser in town: Firefox is quickly becoming a leading alternative to Microsoft Internet Explorer. If you are new to Firefox and want to see what all the buzz is about, Firefox and Thunderbird: Beyond Browsing and Email is the guide that you need. By focusing on how to configure and customize Firefox and Thunderbird, this book will show you how to quickly get a hold of the less intuitive features that most new users struggle to figure out. You will discover which of Firefox's many options should be adjusted, which shouldn't, and how to locate many hidden preferences that will ultimately create a better browsing experience. The author's tips and tricks will teach you how to adjust the browser's appearance and behavior, and how to install the most popular extensions to maximize the browser's performance.
You'll also be introduced to Firefox's e-mail client companion, Thunderbird. You'll cover Thunderbird's built-in spam filters, calendar, and customizeable layout and toolbars. Personalize your e-mail with tips and tricks dedicated to getting the most out of Thunderbird, and learn how to make it work together with Firefox for a seamless online experience.
You can even find out how to contribute to the development of Firefox and Thunderbird. A special section on Web development will show you how you can add new extensions, themes, and customizations to each one and make an impact on the future of Firefox and Thunderbird.

16 Dec 2005
Format:Paperback
The last three chapters of these books point are missing from the book. These cover some advanced firefox programming. There are instructions to go to the web site but the chapters are no where to be found.
This is a first time I have seen such a thing and am not sure I like it. Why have three enticing chapters mapped out in the table of contents and then say they are not in the book you bought but on the web? And to add insult to injury the chapters are not there either. It might of been better to leave them out of the TOC to avoid misleading and just say that additional material is available at the authors site.
Perhaps, this was just a unintentional logistic slip up that may soon be fixed but you have been warned.
