The following URLs are special to the Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox and other browsers, in that they give information as to the state of the browser.Those listed below as ``clickable'' means that the URLs can be placed in an HTML <A HREF="about:..."> statement in a webpage document. Those which are not, must be entered by hand into the Open URL dialog box. Also those which are ``clickable'' can be added as bookmarks, the other ones can not.
clickable Special URL Description about: Same as Help -> About about:about list all these about: URLs (Mozilla Suite only). about:plugins lists what plug-ins have been loaded. (No longer clickable in later versions.) * about:blank displays a ``blank'' document. Good for WYSIWYG web page creation, I presume. about: shows the start-up page that is shown before the home page. This page gives the version and copyright notices. about:cache Show statistics regarding the disk cache and what files/pages are cached locally. Could access the memory and disk cache entries from here. * about:credits A sizeable list of contributors to the browser project. about:config A sizeable list of configuration options for the browser. * about:buildconfig Shows the configure options used to create the binary. * about:license Shows the Mozilla Public License. * about:logo Show the Mozilla logo. * about:mozilla Shows a ``quote'' from the Book of Mozilla. Afterwards the Netscape logo will show a green monster bobbing up & down while downloading long documents, instead of the Netscape meteor shower. (Only in the 4.x line) * about:neterror Shows the ``OOPS!'' page, and to click to try again. Mostly useless though. * about:robots Just info about robots - a firefox3 Easter egg. NO LONGER VALID about:global Used to give global history information as to what URLs have been visited and when. Later versions do nothing. about:image-cache Used to show statistics regarding the image disk cache and what images are cached locally. Later versions do nothing. about:document It was clickable and used to pop up another window with content URLs and file information of the current page. Later versions do nothing. about:memory-cache Used to show statistics regarding the memory cache and what pages are cached locally. Later versions do nothing.
