I found a FireFox tweak guide for the more advanced users (beginning users of FireFox sholud learn more about the browser before they start using tweaks) :-):

http://www.tweakguides.com/Firefox_1.html


Lots of advanced FireFox tweaks here:

http://www.tweakguides.com/Firefox_8.html
http://www.tweakguides.com/Firefox_9.html
http://www.tweakguides.com/Firefox_10.html

Enjoy! :-)
