Get it here: [http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/bonecho/alpha1/](http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/bonecho/alpha1/) Description here: [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/bonecho/releases/2.0a1.html](http://www.mozilla.org/projects/bonecho/releases/2.0a1.html) I posted this using it, by the way, but I haven’t had time to play around with it much. Watch out if you don’t think you’re going to keep it, it will disable your extensions (Even in Firefox). -Flash installs without having to restart the browser -Go menu is now ‘History’ menu ---

I could’ve sworn Mike showed me a cool screenshot of what the next version of Firefox was supposed to look like on Mac. Or was that Krilnon? ---

> Or was that Krilnon? It wasn’t me. I hope that they add in some more noteworthy features before the next release, it seems that 1.0.x \> 1.5.x had more changes and features added than this (so far). ---

I suggest that we return to the topic and keep everything under control. I’ve been wondering where it gets the # of times visited statistic in the Places window. [Kirupa.com](http://Kirupa.com) has a really large number, but other sites that I know I have been to more than once only show ‘1’. My history clears every day, and I’m pretty sure that I haven’t been to [Kirupa.com](http://Kirupa.com) more than 1000 times in the last day, so it wouldn’t be getting it from that. ---

Do minor changes like bug fixes really constitute as a whole other version?
