minefield is 3.6 using gecko engine version 1.9.2 not 3.0 with a 1.9.0 gecko.

What you have is a pre-release(thunk version?), the link I gave is the last stable.

That compiler guy can be a bit slow getting the latest version out.

Its a crying shame there is no 64-bit flash.

I fail to see how the latest 64 bit build of 3.08 can labeled minefield.

thanks this worked for me and now i can use firefox with all my add ons if only i had a flash that would be up to date

Woo! Power to 32-bit!!
At least they have a x86 build (elsewhere)

Note: My computer isn't capable of x64 (xD)

trying out the x86 minefield, and so far am impressed

the same tweaks work for minefield to make it perform faster

This pretty much explains what versions should be labeled "minefield". Confusion over Firefox alpha/beta/preview builds code names • mozillaZine Forums

Can I run this with x86 Firefox installed without any issues? I would like to try it but don't want to get rid of what I currently have.

If I remember correctly (please don't quote me) but I had FFx86 installed and the x64 version installed fine, even adopted my FF settings. So, my answer is yes. I just hope it doesn't hose your settings. Let us know how it goes. For what it's worth, I'm currently using it with no problems.

Just backup your Firefox profile/settings before installing the x64 version. Go to,

C:\Users\Your Name\AppData\Local

and make a backup of the Mozilla folder. This will give you a copy of all profiles, settings and any extensions.
