3.0 out of 5 stars do you really need this book?, June 22, 2006

By	W Boudville (Terra, Sol 3) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Firefox, like most browsers, is pretty easy to use. Most people will never need a book on it. Which raises a question about this book. It seems accurate enough. Granted, there will be some readers who desire an indepth look at what Firefox can do. Like how to set various customisations. Perhaps you want to increase various security settings, say?

Most of you should just skip the book. Hey, especially if you are using any browser right now, to read this review.
