About protocol links
From MozillaZine Knowledge Base
There are a few special URLs, which begin with about:, that you can type into the Location Bar. (In Thunderbird, which has no Location Bar, or in SeaMonkey, you can also use them as "Mail Start Page".)
* about: — The same page as "Help -> About".
* about:about — Lists all these about: URLs (Mozilla Suite/SeaMonkey only).
* about:blank — A blank page. Useful for setting as your homepage.
* about:bloat — Displays BloatView output (disabled in release builds).
o about:bloat?new
o about:bloat?clear
* about:buildconfig — Reveals details about your Mozilla build options.
* about:cache — Displays cache statistics and disk cache directory location.
