I'm not sure why Firefox is still necessary -- it's now so bloated and slow. For a recent lightweight build I built and installed the popular awesome window manager (not in the book http://awesome.naquadah.org/) and the xombrero browser (not in the book but previously mentioned by me http://is.gd/COxf3u). They are both working really well together and are lightning fast.
