Firefox changes so rapidly that the content of books will be outdated soon or even before they are published. In each new version a lot of changes are occurring in the user interface and what settings are present and how they are labeled, so online documentation is much easier to keep up to date than books tat would be confusing if they contain outdated information.

Have you tried Amazon for a book like that? http://www.amazon.com/books-used-books-textbooks/b?node=283155
