== 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]
* 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'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"
* Run this every time you want to use minefield:
c:\Program Files\Minefield>firefox -Profilemanager --no-remote
* Create a new profile, like "minefield" and use it every time you want to use minefield.
== Intentions ==
I want to create a 1,2,3 tutorial for somebody to just get started using the latest build of Firefox3(codename minefield).
Later I* '''NOTE:'''ll create a tutorial which will guide new Seneca students If at any point you run Firefox2 and then you try to get involved with Mozilla from scratch. Basicallyopen Minfield(codename for Firefox3), I you will write what just end up running another window of Firefox2 (I will be learning when getting involvedexplain later how to run both at the same time).''It happens vice versa too.''
== PD == I know it must be really easy but 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
