If you're talking about the McFarlane book, I have that one. Worthless. I gave up on the idea of Mozilla as a devel environment after skimming it. Just too many different technologies thrown into the mix, some of which seemed quite opaque to me, e.g. RDF. Also, having to re-compile mozilla to add whatever limited support for external libraries there is is a big turnoff. And aside from mozilla.org, who is writing apps (real apps, not extensions) using the platform. I know of Komodo, that's about it.
