Mozilla Test Browser: Minefield

Mozilla has released a test browser codenamed "Minefield" which is basically Firefox with a faster javascript engine, or in my words, Firefox on crack. When tested alongside Google Chrome, it was faster than the V8 javascript engine, which was previously thought to be the fastest javascript engine available. The new javascript engine is called TraceMonkey, and it is truley amazing. Just playing with it doing everyday websurfing, I've noticed significant speed increases.
