Steps to reproduce:

This bug is not caused by a user action.

Actual results:

about:mozilla and about:robots run in the chrome process.

Expected results:

These pages should be loaded in a content process instead, as they don't require any chrome privileges.

Resetting severity to default of --.

Hi,

Please let me know if you are referring to the about:performance screen within firefox, or the task manager within chrome

I will move this over to a component so developers can take a look over it. If is not the correct component please feel free to change it to an appropriate one.

Thanks for the report.

Best regards, Clara.

about:mozilla and about:robots, not about:performance, it should still load as chrome.

WONTFIX. about:mozilla and about:robots can't easily be moved to a content process because they're specifically used by many tests for non-remote page loads. Plus, they're static web pages so there's not much security benefit from moving them out of the parent process.

Both about:mozilla and about:robots? Moving one of the two is acceptable and will fix the bug.

Yeah, also, a bug that is worth fixing, just maybe not worth the time investment in doing so right now, should probably never be marked as WONTFIX.
