![Your mozilla about picture ;\). You won't be able to enjoy this cool trick with a not Mozilla browser](chrome://branding/content/about.png)

Last night I was talking with [tabo](http://tabo.aurealsys.com/) about [Firefox](http://www.getfirefox.com/), and he asked me what other options were there for the "`about:...`" pages.

The ones I knew were:

  * [about:blank](about:blank)

  * [about:config](about:config)

  * [about:plugins](about:plugins)

To look for them I went to [Mozilla's Cross reference](http://lxr.mozilla.org/) and [searched for the string "about:"](http://lxr.mozilla.org/aviary101branch/search?string=about%3A)

I found interesting results in `[msNetModule.cpp`](http://lxr.mozilla.org/aviary101branch/source/netwerk/build/nsNetModule.cpp#964)

  * [about:bloat](about:bloat)*

  * [about:credits](about:credits)

  * [about:mozilla](about:mozilla)

  * [about:logo](about:logo)*

  * [about:build-config](about:build-config)*

  * [about:cache](about:cache)

  * [about:about](about:about)*

  * [about:cache-entry](about:cache-entry)*

  * [about:neterror](about:neterror)

  * [about:license](about:license)

For some reason the ones with the *, just showed blank pages when I typed them in the address bar :?

And then, accidentally found:

  * [about:](about:)

I figured it was a protocol so I googled for it, and found [this page in the Mozillazine](http://kb.mozillazine.org/About_protocol_links)!!

The coolest one ever definitely has to be [about:kitchensink](http://www.mozilla.org/docs/web-developer/samples/kitchensink.xml), to bad it [had to be removed](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122411) :(
