Mozilla Minefield in Ubuntu

[turinturambar]

As a recent Windows refugee, I'm really missing the speed of Minefield. Does anyone know how to install it?

Thanks

simply.
this is for the Terminal (CLI), similar is for nautilus (GUI).
download file according to Your install from the nightly archive:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-central/
put the file in the directory where You want Minefield directory to be.
go to that directory.
unpack it with: sudo tar -xvf firefox(whatever is the name for Your install)...tar.bz2edit the line with moz_libdir in file (wherever You've put it)/firefox/firefox
sudo nano (wherever You've put it)/firefox/firefoxso that it reads: moz_libdir=(wherever You've put it)/firefox/
and make a launcher with command line: (wherever You've put it)/firefox/firefox
and You're done.
You can even make it a default by changing it in System->Preferences->Preffered_Applications->Browser->Custom->(wherever You've put it)/firefox/firefox ...

I'm using it and, even though I've tried to get used to 3.0.6 or even 3.1beta nightly, I'm always coming back the same day to this nightly, updated every day ... :)

NO, see my previous post.

thanks, do you know if it updates on it's own, or do I have to download and unpack it again every time I want an update?
