In my last post in this journal, there was an positive and active discussion about the pros and cons of tweaking FX in an effort to increase its speed. Learning from the experience, I promised myself I would start researching FX characteristics and features.

Just by luck, I stumbled upon an article with the title, "You Don't Know Jack About Firefox" written by Cheah Chu Yeow. Chu Yeow is an aspiring J2EE developer and Web developer studying at the National University of Singapore. He wrote the book "FireFox Secrets", which lifts the lid on Firefox's lesser-known functionality.

In this book Chu Yeow wrote, "If you feel that the Web has lost its sparkle, that's probably because you're slogging across it in an old browser. I'm over here on the other side, and the grass is not only greener: there are none of those microscopic grass bugs that cause nasty rashes!"

"The title contains over 290 pages of Firefox tips, tricks and hacks, providing invaluable pointers to help you customize the browser to your specific preferences." Sounds good, doesn't it?

"It starts with some of the better-known tweaks, such as search customizations and favorites, password, and history management. But later chapters challenge even the most hardened Firefox devotee, revealing the inner workings of Web developer extensions, RSS feed subscription, and the little-known about:config interface."

For your convenience, in case you are interested in further exploring FX, the following URL will take you to the aforementioned article which consist of six pages:

Together let's discover the secrets of Firefox,
