Mozilla Minefield: The Future of Firefox?

February 8th, 2009

Currently, Mozilla is building their newest browser called Minefield, said to be the future of Firefox.  Will it replace it then? We don’t know though.  It maybe a sequel to one of Mozilla’s successful products, the Firefox browser. Cnet.com even said that it is faster than Firefox.

The Mozilla Minefield is currently on it’s Alpha version, which means that it’s still on its testing phase.  Developers and even experienced internet users who want to have a first-hand browsing experience with Mozilla Minefield are encouraged to download this new browser.  As it is on its Alpha version, Mozilla Minefield is provided without any guarantees of stability, so use it at your own risk. It is recommended that you back up your profile regularly, as there may be bugs that corrupt your data.
