Looks like Ankur Mittal did not like being corrected and given background info on what this Firefox 4.0 alpha nightly is really as my post was deleted.

You were mentioned on independent mozillaZine forums by the way for really jumping the gun as the real Firefox 4.0 Alpha 1 test release will not be for several months.

This a new Trunk due to part of moving from CVS to Mercurial. At some point CVS will only be for security branch checkins, until they retire that branch, then it will be closed. There will be two Trunk, current Trunk "Gecko 1.9 Trunk" and New Trunk "Mozilla 2 (hg) Trunk".

"Minefield" (not Minesfield) is the code name for the 1.9 Trunk itself and not really the name of any Firefox version as while code name for Firefox 3.0 is Gran Paradiso, there is no code name for Firefox 4 yet as it is not Minefield as they have not named the new 2.0 Trunk yet.

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9b5pre) Gecko/2008030704 Minefield/3.0b5pre

This is not FF 4. This is simply a branch from the trunk from about a week ago. It was created to become the new trunk and no real development has begun on it yet. Nothing is different except for maybe some small backend work.

Ignore this. As usual the uninformed are jumping the gun.
