I have been trying to get into about:chrome to make a few changes, but I keep receiving an error message that states "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded. I have not tried to do this for a few weeks, since I first got Firefox 11. I tried it with all of my extensions running and it wouldn't let me in. I tried it with Firefox in safe mode and it still wouldn't let me in.

Has the about:chrome feature been turned off? And if so, how do I turn it back on?

Nevermind. I figured out my problem. It was "about:config", instead of "about:chrome". Geez, I feel like an idiot.

We all have these moments. You are completely pardoned when you confess.
