Firefox names are easy to track - each name indicates exactly what version it be. Official builds take on the "Firefox" name. Unofficial and development builds, such as the ones by Furby or RPM, take on the version code name, once they're forked off the "trunk". Here are the code names for the various releases: Firefox 0.1 to 1.0 Phoenix Firefox 0.6 to 0.7 Firebird Firefox 1.5.x Deer Park Firefox 2.x Bon Echo Firefox 3.0 Gran Paradiso Firefox 3.5 Shiretoko Firefox 3.6 Namoroka "Minefield" is the code name for the main Mozilla trunk - the bleeding edge of development. Currently, it is what will become Firefox 3.7, once it has been forked. Since the developers switched to the newer libraries and compiler, it requires now Leopard or better. (Leopard, of course, requires a G4 or better). I think the 15 Sept build is the last Minefield that's compatible with Tiger & G3s. >G4 optimized ones--which I haven't had a lot of luck with. How so? Are you running Leopard on your G4 Mac? >They upgrade them pretty often, so make sure to bookmark the link. Furby's buildbot runs nightly.
