Typing about:about in the location bar I am prompted to this page:
jar:file:///C:/Programmi/Mozilla%20Firefox/chrome/toolkit.jar!/content/global/aboutAbout.html
with an error of "file not found"



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type about:about in the URL bar

Actual Results:  
I am redirected to this file:
jar:file:///C:/Programmi/Mozilla%20Firefox/chrome/toolkit.jar!/content/global/aboutAbout.html


Expected Results:  
There are two possible expected results:
1) it appears the alert "The url is invalid, as I type about:somebody"
2) Like in seamonkey,  I am redirected to an existing file that describe all about: entries.




In SM file exist.
