Format:.exe
Description:From the official web site
Bon Echo Alpha 3 is the third developer milestone 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.

New features and changes in this milestone that require feedback include:

And please continue to test out these other features which are new from previous Bon Echo releases:

* Changes to tabbed browsing behavior
* Search plugin manager for removing and re-ordering search engines
* Better support for previewing and subscribing to web feeds
* New microsummaries feature for bookmarks
* Inline spell checking in text boxes
* Automatic restoration of your browsing session if there is a crash
* New combined and improved Add-Ons manager for extensions and themes
* Extended search plugin format
* Updates to the extension system to provide enhanced security and to allow for easier localization of extensions
* Support for SVG text using svg:textPath

The Bon Echo start page has also been changed to make it easier for testers to provide feedback and report bugs.

I'm sorry but I don't see many important changes made with bono. It looks the same, works the same and firefox is practically the same thing so if you have mozilla already you need not apply.
