You did NOT install 3.0 Beta 4 as Minefield is the code name of the Trunk nightlies itself where regressions and checkins with new updates happen each day and the Minefield trunk nightlies is currently labeled 3.0b4pre to show it is a not a final 3.0 B4 but a work in progress and the Trunk was changed from 3.0b3 to 3.0b4 over a week ago. The next beta 4 is not final until March 10-14 at moment though the date is not set in stone.

So if you do not want to be testing with updates patches each day and to deal with something broken or unfinished at times then stick with the Firefox 3.0.B3 or even better the Firefox 2.0.0.12 as the 3.0B3 and especially the Minefield nightlies are meant for testers.

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9b4pre) Gecko/2008021304 Minefield/3.0b4pre ..a long time tester as releases are boring…

Installing this version does not overwrite *anything*.
Install it, test it, then uninstall it from the add/remove app. No need to uninstall the 2.0 or anything…

PS: No personal data (bookmarks, add-ons, etc) will be lost.

You can try the portable edition without uninstalling Mozilla FF 2.0.0.12.
Free download:
