Bon Echo supports restoring all your tabs

A quick tip - if I Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to kill my Xwindow session, the next time I start up Bon Echo, it asks me if I want the tabs restored. This is something that IE7 cannot do, and I know of two other browsers (Maxthon and Avant) that offer tab-saving, but are not reliable and/or javascript standard.

You can go to
Edit->Preferences

and change "When Bon Echo Starts:"
to "Show My Windows & Tabs From Last Time"

:wink:

Well the preference does work. However I still had to kill my Xwindow session, otherwise it informs me that firefox is still running.

Just to note, "Bon Echo" is the brand name used by www-client/mozilla-firefox when it is installed with the mozbranding USE flag unset.

So does Firefox 2.x

Also comes with spell checking for forms and an ugly theme.
