This is neither Firefox 4.0 nor is Minefield the codename for it. Minefield is just Mozilla's internal name for nightly-builds (all nightly build of Firefox 3.0 and 2.x have been called Minefield. Minefield 4.0 might refer to the Beta 4.

^^ Thats true Mozilla use "Minefield" name for all its builds, thats why they have used the same name for version 4.0. You can try it, it clearly shows Version 4.0 Alpha1 in About box.

But what is Gran Paradiso then?
blackcoatman
Gran Paradiso is version 3 I think, Minefield is used for builds like this alpha one (maybe because they're bug-minefields
)

Vishal,
Have you tried this out already, and if so, what do you think about it. I am reticent to try it or even install it to view, for fear of it ruining my very personalized FF3.

I tested it, and it works fine. I also customized my FF3 to a point of hacking it so that it uses less RAM, and it works fine. It still uses less RAM, with a theme of IE7 loaded, than Windows Explorer.
