Is this if you manually input these, or if you actually go somewhere with a cert / network error ( e.g. http://www.adfgsdcsdgsdgvsndgjsdfgsdfg.com/ is currently unregistered and will show a version of about:neterror )

Judging by bug 1392247, you're expecting these to do something more than this even if used without query parameters - but what they're doing in the screenshot is exactly what they're supposed to do in those circumstances.

It's the first one, I input "about:certerror" and "about:neterror" manually in Location Bar, and in the end got this error > Oops. > > Nightly can’t load this page for some reason. > > Try Again For about:certerror I think Firefox should show: > Your connection is not secure > > The owner of about:certerror has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Nightly has not connected to this website. > > Learn more… > > Report errors like this to help Mozilla identify and block malicious sites > Go back / Advanced and for about:neterror > Server not found > > Firefox can’t find the server at about:neterror. > > Check the address for typing errors such as ww.example.com instead of www.example.com > If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection. > If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Nightly is permitted to access the Web. > > Try Again So is it still INVALID?

Yes. The strings from comment #4 only make sense if there's actual data to show them for. We show subtly different errors for different issues with the connection/ssl, and all of those use about:net/certerror. We pick an error based on the query parameters. The fallback is the one you're encountering. I don't think changing the fallback to what you're suggesting is useful work. You're not "meant" to access these pages manually, and that is part of why they're not in about:about. They're internal URLs. Not everything on about: is meant to be exposed - we use it for some things because it's easier to restrict what code runs on it than it is on chrome:// (which is always privileged, and therefore carries risk - we don't want webpages really having access to chrome:// pages directly, and they would if we e.g. loaded chrome:// something in a frame if that frame caused a network error. )

OK. That makes sense. Thank you very much for detailed explanation!
