Firefox Minefield Alpha

Firefox Minefield Alpha

So Mozilla's Firefox Minefield browser is all the rage because it is supposedly way faster than Firefox 3 and Google Chrome. It isn't a beta yet (alpha code) but it is a stand alone install so it won't impact your Firefox installation at all. If you don't like it, uninstall it. Anyone here tried it out yet?

Nice. Posting from it now.

Nightly Tester Tools brought all my extensions on board, plus it automatically uses my Firefox settings and bookmarks.

Download - Mozilla x86-64

I have a 64 bit machine so I figured that I would give 64 bit firefox a shot, aka Minefield which Osiris has pointed out.

I haven't noticed a speed increase, granted the 64 bit version is 3.0pre and not the 3.1 .

I didn't really notice any performance increase at all?

Sticking with ff3

Downloaded it last night, and used it all night. Uninstalled FF3, and Minefield is now my default.
