269430 - about:about is missing

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 220253

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Daryle Walker]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Unlike all (AFAIK) other versions of Mozilla and derivatives, the secret
"about:about" puesdo-URL doesn't do anything.  I didn't find any previous
reports of the problem, but a reading of an unrelated bug involving
"about:plugins" implies that the omission may be deliberate.

Why?  It seems that a lot of the other "about:*" locations are still programmed
in.  The "about:about" location allows a user to determine all the secret
locations without memorization (or looking through Google or the Mozilla web
site).  It would have the advantage that it would always be up-to-date, whereas
crib sheets on the Internet may miss newly-added (or -removed) secret locations.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Enter "about:about" into the URL location bar (without the quotes, of course)
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
The view that was supposed the display the result didn't change.


Expected Results:  
Showed the list of all "about:*" directives.
