[EDIT]
1 silly thing I found in this new release! They hv attached the GO button with the Search box, so when we rearrange the search box, the GO button is also carried with it leaving Address Bar alone! it looks quite Buggy...

Hey guys!
Just today I checked for updates in my Bon Echo Beta 1 and it showed an update available! I installed it and when the browser restarted, its showing Bon echo Beta 2.

It means ff 2 Beta 2 is out. but I didnt find it anywhere and even not on Mozilla FTP.

You are correct, a second beta is there and officially supposed to be releasing on August 23, and the final release is said to be coming on October 24.

i could not find Session restore option.

 

[Vishal Gupta]

There is no setting for it but in case ur ff crashes, it'll automatically restore the last session upon next start.

then it should be known as crash recoverer not session saver...it has nothing to do with sessions .

 

[QwertyManiac]

Arre, session saver saves your open tabs on a crash or if you want it to. And on next open it restores em. Like opera ofcourse. Has nothing so specific to crashes to be named thus.

 

[deathvirus_me]

Still lack extension support ... back to v1.5.0.7 pre release for me ... and since this is turning out to be quite stable , next direct to v2.0
