Try these commands on the address bar:

about: - shows info on Firefox’s version number, copyright, etc.;

about:config - reveals the Configuration Console, a repository brimming over with scores of customizable settings;

about:cache - displays a summary of both your memory and file cache, with a link to full file listings;

…about:buildconfig - lists the compiler options that were used to create your version of Firefox (and, since it’s open source, anyone can compile a customized version);

about:plugins - enumerates your installed add-ons, which can be quite numerous since Firefox is designed to be modular and extensible; and

about:credits - is an “Easter egg” that includes the names of hundreds of developers and testers who worked on the product.

    You forgot about:mozilla which is another easter egg that has to be seen to really understand

    Don’t forget about:kitchensink, if you have everything, you need that right?

    Suppose it wouldn’t have been as interesting to just list about:about and be done with it.
