about: without any arguments will bring up information about your Netscape software. about:global gives you information about the Netscape global history cache (a list of URLs the browser has accessed). You can find more information about this in tech note http://help.netscape.com/kb/consumer/960627-14.html. about:cache gives you information about contents of the Netscape disk cache. You can find more information about this in tech note http://help.netscape.com/kb/consumer/960513-45.html. about:memory-cache shows you what files the browser is currently caching in memory for faster access. about:image-cache provides information about the images currently loaded in the cache. about:document provides information about the currently-loaded document. about:plugins provides information about the plugins you currently have installed. about:license diplays the text of your Netscape software license agreement. about:logo will display the Netscape logo. about:mozilla displays a page from the Book of Mozilla. You can put the name of some of the developers after about: to see their home page: marca, ari, atotic, blythe, chouck, dmose, dp, ebina, hagan, jeff, jg, jsw, jwz, karlton,kipp, mlm, montulli, mtoy, paquin, robm, sharoni, terry, timm.

Folsk would really like these debugging option implemented. This was brought up at Seamonkey Leads. Can we get in after M16?

Sorry for the spam. New QA Contact for Browser General. Thanks for your help Joseph (good luck with the new job) and welcome aboard Doron Rosenberg

Ever confirmed: true
moving over to the Derivatives Product and Netscape component (the staging ground for moving bugs out of bugzilla)
Component: Browser-General → Netscape 6
Product: Browser → Derivatives
QA Contact: doronr → endico
Version: other → unspecified
perhaps we can pull the Netscape specific items out of this list and move it back into the public? I know some of these are going to be implimented and most of them would be important to mozilla as well as Netscape. THoughts?
These debugging request would help all. Putting on nsbeta3 and helpwanted keyword, it would be great for anyone (mozilla or netscape) to get this happening.

adding sford since I think he was involved in implimenting a couple about:'s
about:mozilla works, adding leaf to cc list. Leaf - since you did the about:mozilla, feel like doing this? the fishcam could be in mozilla too, the about:logo and about:licence should be made mozilla specific for the mozilla builds.
actually, i didn't do any about: work; but i'll poke at this in my ``free time''
sford, you want this one?
I will take a look at it. I need to speak with people in the history/cache/imglib area to find out about what would be needed for those. I have about:plugins and another one implemented.
assigning to sford. thanks.

Here's what works for me now with a 20010630 linux cvs build: about: brings up the Mozilla info screen about:cache works about:memory-cache doesn't work, but the info is available in about:cache about:image-cache doesn't work, see bug 60305 about:document doesn't work, but it's reachable as view page info about:plugins works about:license doesn't work, see bug 55659 about:logo doesn't work, see bug 52104 about:mozilla works javascript: works livescript: doesn't work, but appears to have been the same as javascript: mocha: doesn't work, but appears to have been the same as javascript: Should we close this one, and let the more specific bugs take care of the remaining issues?
In response to the previous comment. Quoted Verbatim from this page: http://help.netscape.com/kb/consumer/19970513-4.html There are other special URLs: * javascript: * livescript: * mocha: These all display a field where you can enter a line of JavaScript code which will then be interpreted immediately. ("LiveScript" and "Mocha" were development code-names for JavaScript.)

comment 0 was clearly a request that certain urls and actions work in mozilla. most of them do. the bug is most certainly not invalid.

(In reply to comment #20) > comment 0 was clearly a request that certain urls and actions work in mozilla. > most of them do. the bug is most certainly not invalid. I'm sorry, I misinterpreted that. My fault. Sorry, Joel Nackman
Among the remaining entries are about:global (functionality already exists as Go->History), about:memory-cache and about:image-cache (already part of about:cache) and about:document (functionality already exists as page info). javascript: doesn't work. Is that the only reason this bug is still open?
No comments since 2005. No reply to comment #22 Resolving INCOMPLETE. If necessary, please file a new bug for whichever part of this still needs fixing.
