Firefox Minefield

[NJC]

I've given it a quick try and it's noticeably faster than FF 3.0.6. It did farg my Bookmark icons in FF 3.0.6.

but be warned: it's alpha code. While a quick scan of the Web shows few complaints as to stability, Minefield may not be for you. It doesn't support some of my favorite Firefox extensions (like Adblock Plus), but it actually has surprisingly good support for extensions, given that it's a fast-moving project.

Emphasis added. IE BACKUP FIRST is prudent.

"Minefield" would be the 3.1 alpha, right? (I didn't read the article the OP linked to).

I have tried out a lot of the alphas and beta for Firefox before, but they break *so many* add ons that I end up going back to the stable releases just to be functional again.

It says 3.2a1pre ... no crashes after 45mins.

3.*2*? I've gotta come out from under this rock from time to time: I didn't even know such an animal existed. Of course, now that I've Googled it, it seems you can't swing a dead cat around the internet without bumping into it.
