O'Reilly Released Firefox Hacks

Firefox Hacks by Nigel McFarlane (O'Reilly, 398p, $24.95) explains how to customize Firefox's deployment, appearance, features, and functionality--delivering techniques, tools, and strategies for making the most out of Firefox's flexibility. Readers will learn how to:

• Make Firefox look different with skins, extensions, and themes
  
• Integrate Firefox with other tools, and safely migrate Internet Explorer bookmarks, history, passwords, and other data
  
• Browse anonymously, turn off caching, stomp on cookies, or flush and clear absolutely everything
  
• Install, use, and customize extensions, widgets, toolbars, and plug-ins
  
• Increase security by stopping all secret network activity, fine-tuning ports and sockets, digitally signing content, dropping security blocks, and more
  
• Play with preferences, install fonts and character support, govern image and ad display, and otherwise tweak the standard browser window
  
• Power up web pages with XML, using Mozilla SOAP, XML-RPC, and WSDL services, as well as MathML, SVG content, Xpath, and XSL
