Details

Steps to reproduce:

1) Install Mozilla on a brand new computer.
2) Run Mozilla for the first time.
3) Turn on "Automatically complete text typed into Location bar" in Preferences
-> Smart Browsing if it is not on by default.
4) Type "about:" in the URL bar.

Actual results: Nothing.

Expected results: You should get an autocomplete dropdown containing all of the
various about: pages. 

Or at least all of the non-Easter-egg about: pages.

To be honest, in the steps to reproduce, creating a new profile could probably
replace steps 1) and 2)

Applies to Firefox also.

Becomes more relevant as add-ons start to use an about: page as their configuration page instead of a separate window. Ubiquity is a prime example of this.
