Bon Echo Alpha 2 Milestone
Please note: We do not recommend that anyone other than developers and testers download this Alpha 2 milestone release. It is intended for testing purposes only.
Bon Echo Alpha 2 is the second developer milestone on the path to Firefox 2. This milestone is focused on testing the core functionality provided by many new features and changes to the platform scheduled for Firefox 2. Ongoing planning for Firefox 2 can be followed at the Bon Echo Planning Center, as well as in mozilla.dev.planning and on irc.mozilla.org in #bonecho.
Changes in this milestone that require feedback include:
- Links default to opening in new tabs, not new windows
- Close buttons now appear on every tab, and the close behaviour is slightly different
- Inline spell checking in text boxes
- Automatic restoration of your browsing session if there is a crash
- Search suggestions now appear in the search box auto-complete for Google and Yahoo!
- New search plugin manager for removing and re-ordering search engines
- Improved support for previewing and subscribing to web feeds
- New microsummaries feature for bookmarks
- New Add-Ons manager improves the user interface for managing extensions and themes
- Updates to the extension system to provide enhanced security and to allow for easier localization of extensions
- New search service that supports Sherlock and OpenSearch engines
- Support for SVG text using svg:textPath
