FireFox Mentor

Having an option is nice. Alternatives to the norm can be quite rewarding. Working from a list of choices is fun. When you are faced with making a decision in your life, having more than one choice can make things easier, sometimes it can be harder. In the world of computers and the internet, there are some areas where you have an option or two, and in some areas you don't. In the world of microprocessors, you can choose Intel or AMD. In the world of internet browsers there are some options, notably Netscape and Internet Explorer. But there is a new on on the street, one that is making the others take notice.

The name of that new browser is Firefox (and my guess is that it was not named after the Clint Eastwood movie of the same name). This new browser offers many features that are not found in the mainstream ones, and compliments many of the features that are. It is catching on fast, to date more than 64 million people are using it. But like any new program, learning how to use it efficiently and effectively can take practice, help, and a little luck (sometimes a LOT of luck). But today's Family First Site tells about an electronic manual that can help take some of the steepness out of that learning curve.

The book is called "Firefox" How to...". Here is that needed easy-to-understand manual that users can look at any time they have a "how to" question about using Firefox. Step-by-step instructions, loaded with explanatory pictures, available whenever you need are what this book is all about. Firefox is the most customizable browser on the planet. You will be shown what you need to do step-by-step in how to customize your toolbars - add, remove or rearrange buttons - install new features - and add new themes to stylize your browser. It will teach you the ways to arrange this unique browser to allow you to do your best work.

If you are thinking about dumping IE or Netscape and jumping to Firefox, this book will make the transition almost painless. It comes with a 90-day money-back guarantee, so you will have three months to see if it will work for you or not.

    Shame on you for recommending that families spend thier hard-earned money on a forty-dollar ebook (not even a soft-cover book,)when all they have to do is click on "Help" at the very top of thier Firefox browser. As if that's not enough, then a Google search for ["how to" Firefox], without brackets, will turn up a flood of sites offering all the free Firefox info anyone could possibly need.

    Here are two great, free sites that will turn up in the Google search I suggested:

    Good luck!
