Introduction

I want to create a 1,2,3 tutorial for somebody to just get started using the latest build of Firefox3(codename minefield).


  • Download the latest build from ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk
  • Check the numbering of the file names (firefox-3.0a3pre is later than firefox-3.0a2pre), the OS (.win32. foe windows , .linux-i686t. for linux and .mac. for MacOS)
  • There's three files to download a ZIP file, an installer and a Mozilla Update(.complete.mar - I THINK); Just download the installer and run it. The file I downloaded was "firefox-3.0a3pre.en-US.win32.installer.exe"
  • NOTE: If at any point you run Firefox2 and then you try to open Minfield(codename for Firefox3), you will just end up running another window of Firefox2 (I will explain later how to run both at the same time)
I'm trying to run Firefox and Minefield at the same time.
Dave told me something about --no-remote - Profilemanager and I know I've seen it in the Dive into Mozilla course

PD

I know it must be really easy but I haven't done it/search for it.
