You might need Firefox 3 cause I got it to work. Pretty nice easter egg.

It's a firefox easter egg. Try it.

about:blank

Shows a blank page.

about:config

Shows Firefox configuration.

about:cache

Shows information about Firefox cache. You can even browse the files in the cache

about:credits

Shows the list of contributors who helped develop Firefox.
