What exactly is Minefield? Is it a new PC browser or phone browser or what?

Isn't it the codename for the 64 bit version of Firefox?

Minefield is the codename for Firefox 3.6, previously Firefox 3.2.

Like everyone said, Minefield is the code name for FF 3.6 Alpha 1.

So I shouldn't feel silly for asking. ;) Seems others were unsure about it as well.

I went to the page and still didn't really understand what Minefield was... Thanks for the clarification!

Minefield. Quite a put-offish kinda name for a new browser engine, eh? Why not just call it Asplode. At least that has some cool Strongbad reference.

Well calling it Minefield does make sense. You never know when a bug is going to explode and screw up your browser. :lol:

It's not very good compared to other browsers that are in BETA or ALPHA. If you are looking for speed and security. Try out Opera 10.00 Alpha or Google Chrome 2.0. They are FAST and sweet.

I'm already using Opera 10 Alpha. ;)
