Firefox Easter Eggs

Our favorite open source browser has some goodies we didn’t know about. If you type in the following in the address bar you get some interesting results:

about: shows info on Firefox version number, copyright, etc.;

about:config reveals the Configuration Console, a repository brimming over with scores of customizable settings;

about:cache displays a summary of both your memory and file cache, with a link to full file listings;

about:buildconfig lists the compiler options that were used to create your version of Firefox (and, since it’s open source, anyone can compile a customized version);

about:plugins enumerates your installed add-ons, which can be quite numerous since Firefox is designed to be modular and extensible; and

about:credits is an “Easter egg” that includes the names of hundreds of developers and testers who worked on the product.
