== Intentions 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 ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk]
I* Check the numbering of the file names ('''firefox-3.0a3pre''' is later than '''firefox-3.0a2pre'''), the OS ('''.win32.''' for windows , '''.linux-i686t.''' for linux and '''.mac.''' for MacOS)* There'm trying s three files to run Firefox download a ZIP file, an installer and Minefield at a Mozilla Update(.complete.mar - I THINK); Just download the same installer and run it. The file I downloaded was "firefox-3.0a3pre.en-US.win32.installer.exe"* Run this every time.you want to use minefield: Dave told me something about c:\Program Files\Minefield>firefox -Profilemanager --no-remote - Profilemanager * Create a new profile, like "minefield" and I know I've seen use it in the Dive into Mozilla courseevery time you want to use minefield.
== PD ==* '''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 know it must be really easy but will explain later how to run both at the same time). ''It happens vice versa too.''  I haven't done it/search for it.m trying to find another way to run each one without having to go through the profile manager
