Details

URLs like about:mozilla and about:credits do show in the browser app, if you cause a redirect through JavaScript. But if you enter these URLs into the urlbar, the browser thinks it's invalid and redirects to a search for the URL instead.

I'm not sure there's a great way to do this without code duplication, but those URLs marked as "URI_SAFE_FOR_UNTRUSTED_CONTENT" in nsAboutRedirector.cpp[1] already work. The other one's probably shouldn't.
