Cocoa Firefox nightly builds on Mozilla FTP server

Very interesting news, and equally interesting discussion about the name of this new Mozilla browser. It's not Camino---Camino is pure Cocoa, written in InterfaceBuilder and xCode---but it's not Firefox, either---it uses the Cocoa API's rather than the Carbon ones. It still uses the native XUL interface language, which is why---I believe---this browser will be able to run the whole plethora of Firefox plugins. It should be faster than Firefox on Mac OS X, and might be a little prettier, too. Plus, it will let native Cocoa plugins work, too... I think?

The download is called "Minefield", by the way... with a warning that it's still a very young puppy.
