Minefield Start Page
Congratulations! You've downloaded or compiled a "trunk build". This means that you've volunteered to become part of the testing community. Helping out won't take much of your time, doesn't require special skills, and will help make future versions of Mozilla Firefox even better.
Warning: This is NOT A FINAL OR PRE-RELEASE VERSION. This program is provided without any guarantees of stability, so please 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. If that sounds scary, you'd probably be better off with the latest version of Firefox that you can download here.
How Can You Help Test Minefield?
- Give Feedback
- Send us your feedback. Information submitted via our feedback form will be published to the newsgroup mozilla.feedback so project contributors can read it. Do not submit any information unless you wish it to be made public. Your email address will be spam-proofed.
- Use the Reporter Tool
- Minefield comes with a tool for reporting broken web sites. From the 'Help' menu, select 'Report Broken Web Site' and provide as much information as you can about the issue that you are encountering.
- Submit crash reports
- Please use the Crash Reporter and turn it on when it asks. The Crash Reporter reports give us really valuable data on which crashes are the most serious, and how often people are encountering them. All you have to do is click 'OK' when the Crash Reporter prompts you to send feedback.
- Join the QA Team
- Mozilla QA has a page dedicated to ways to get involved with helping. You don't have to be technical and being involved is good for people wanting to get more familiar with Mozilla and Minefield to contribute to the project. Get Involved!
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.
