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)
Confirming enhancement request.

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.
