Whats New ?
# Changes to the graphics layer
# New data storage layer for bookmarks and history (using SQLite)
# Extended search plugin format
# Updates to the extension system to provide enhanced security and to allow for easier localization of extensions
# Support for SVG text using svg:textPath


Known Issues
Extensions
Extensions installed under previous versions of Firefox may be incompatible with Minefield.

History and Bookmarks
This release is intended to test the backend infrastructure and importing. Most of the user interface changes are in flux and testing is not needed at this point. Note that the new bookmarks and history storage for this release are separate from the previous versions, so if data corruption happens, you can still go back to Firefox 2.0 and have the old data.

No.

We just like our extensions to run on a supported version.

You not scared to use IE8, but you scared to dare FF4... =/
In fact, all FFs 2,3,4 can coop normally.. If you have extension problems with 3, you can start 4 or 2..
Speaking about the IE, once you had installed 8, you can't use 7.. emulation is cr@p

Sooo SHAME ON YOU, so called firefox fanboys !
-"Now take him away !!!" Lol..

I'll first wait for Firefox 3 to be officially released before even thinking about 4

I used Minefield on x64 for awhile a couple months ago. I thought it was fine, except it didn't support my Pittsburgh Steelers theme.
