about about
about URI scheme From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of “about” pages for your convenience.
Some of them might be confusing. Some are for diagnostic purposes only.
And some are omitted because they require query strings.
Mozilla-specific about: URIs
Many of these can also be used in Thunderbird, by setting them as the "Mail Start Page". Also, some extensions define additional about: URIs not listed here.[9]
URIs | Mozilla Application Suite / SeaMonkey | Mozilla Firefox |
---|---|---|
about:addons | Shows installed addons, plugins, themes, and provides an interface for installing new addons. Firefox 4+, SeaMonkey 2.1+ | |
about:app-manager | Shows the Firefox OS Simulator. | |
about:bloat | Displays BloatView output (disabled in release builds). Superseded by about:memory on Gecko 1.9.2.[10] | |
about:bloat?new | TBA | |
about:bloat?clear | TBA | |
about:blocked | Shows the malware protection page used when the browser identifies a page as not safe for viewing. Firefox 3+ | |
about:buildconfig | Shows the arguments and options used to compile the build in use. | |
about:cache | Shows information about the Cache Service. Number of entries, location of cache, size of cache, etc. for both memory and disk cache. | |

about:certerror | Shows the error page used when an SSL/TLS certificate is untrusted or otherwise invalid. | |
about:config | Shows an interface for viewing and setting a wide variety of configuration variables, many of which are not otherwise accessible through the GUI (options panels). It displays a message which tells the user that the settings might void the warranty and they can be "Harmful to the stability, security, and performance of this application." The message about voiding one's warranty is a joke, as Mozilla Firefox ships without a warranty of any kind.[11] | |
about:crashes | Shows details of crashes submitted by Mozilla's crash reporter. Firefox 3+, SeaMonkey 2.0+ | |

about:kitchensink | Was never included in Mozilla for the reasons listed in bug 122411 ("Mozilla does not have a kitchen sink"). A Firefox extension that adds it can be installed. (In SeaMonkey, the above-mentioned XML page would need to be bookmarked, copied, or SeaMonkey added to the extension's install.rdf . In SeaMonkey or Thunderbird, the Mail Start Page can be changed.) |
|
about:licence | In the British English localised version, shows the content of about:license but with all occurrences of license used as a noun replaced with licence (see American and British English spelling differences). Not available in Firefox 4 | |
