Firefox always had a number of fun "about" pages. Here is a list:

about:about Lists all the about pages
about:mozilla Quote from the Book of Mozilla (my favourite); differs by the version your using
about:robots A fun robot page

and many more!

I like the robots one, especially the neat reference to The Day the Earth Stood Still. I also like in Google Chrome when a tab dies. "He's dead, Jim! X_X" like Dr McCoy.

On a totally unrelated note, I thought the Three Stooges easter egg in Dead Space was pretty cool too! It certainly was in contrast to all the blood and guts.

about:mozilla is really ninja , man :D There is no really such a thing like a Mozilla book.

about:plugins is very useful and it shows you installed plugins and developer stuff like MIME , extensions (suffix) , and DLL files.

There was about:kitchensink too , but they removed it. :)

about:cache is nice and useful too...

about:about , huh i didn't know it , thanks for sharing it alfishstik.

thanks alfishstik for sharing us these about pages. personally, i didn't know about them, only the usual about: page. actually, i only use the about from help tab in firefox when i want to know the version of firefox. so all you posted here is new for me :).

and by the way the about:about didn't work for me, i use now firefox 5.0 and for some reason it shows this error message "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded.". maybe because of the version. any way, i liked what you posted here, please share us more when you have a time.
