Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 349451

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[James Nord]

entering about:about in the location bar in FF 3.0.5 (upgraded from various ff 3.0 via all point releases) in vista x64 results in the following error

File Not Found

The file jar:file:///C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox/chrome/toolkit.jar!/content/global/aboutAbout.html cannot be found. Please check the location and try again.

    *  Could the item have been renamed, removed, or relocated?
    *  Is there a spelling, capitalisation, or other typographical error in the address?
    *  Do you have sufficient access permissions to the requested item?

perfroming the same on about:kitchensink or any other bogus about url results in a dialog saying kitchensink is not registered

I'm not intending to "chastise". I guess to be more precise I should say to please search all bugs before reporting, including closed ones. Bugs are frequently closed before their patches make it into all the builds. I did it a few times myself before I gave up on the quicksearch.  ;)
