Good Reading 

Get to know Firefox

If it wasn't on a computer monitor, I wasn't reading it until I discovered Firefox Hacks.
Sometimes called the Firefox Bible, Firefox Hacks will introduce you to the basics of Firefox, how to get the most out of it, and how to become a power user.
Available pretty much anywhere, I suggest getting Firefox Hacks at the Mozilla Store to help to support the non-profit Mozilla Foundation. Consider it a contribution.

Firefox for Dummies 

As the name says

From one of the creators of Firefox (Blake Ross) comes a very useful book that doesn't need more to describe it than the title.
Get it at the link below.
