There are a few special URLs, which begin with about:, that you can type into the Location Bar. (In Thunderbird, which has no Location Bar, or in SeaMonkey, you can also use them as "Mail Start Page".)
- about: — The same page as "Help -> About".
- about:about — Lists all these about: URLs (Mozilla Suite/SeaMonkey only).
- about:blank — A blank page. Useful for setting as your homepage.
- about:bloat — Displays BloatView output (disabled in release builds).
- about:bloat?new
- about:bloat?clear
- about:buildconfig — Reveals details about your Mozilla build options.
- about:cache — Displays cache statistics and disk cache directory location.
- about:cache?device=memory — Lists memory cache entries.
- about:cache?device=disk — Lists disk cache entries.
- about:cache-entry — Shows information about a cache entry. Used in about:cache links. Requires parameters.
- about:config — GUI for modifying user preferences.
- about:crashes — List of Breakpad crash reports, with links and datestamps. Only in products based on Gecko 1.9 or later (Firefox 3, Thunderbird 3, SeaMonkey 2).
- about:credits — The list of contributors to the Mozilla projects.
- about:logo — Displays the application logo (Mozilla Suite, SeaMonkey, and Firefox 3).
- about:kitchensink — Was never included in Mozilla for the reasons listed in Bug 122411 ("Mozilla does not have a kitchen sink"). You can install an extension that adds it though :)
- about:licence and about:license — both show the Mozilla Public License and the Netscape Public License for the piece of software. ( Only in products based on Gecko 1.8 or later)
- about:mozilla — The famous Book of Mozilla.
- about:plugins — Lists all your plugins as well as other useful information.
- about:robots — Easter egg, see bug 417302. Beginning with March 8th, 2008 trunk builds, it's now available on Firefox 3.0b5..
