Is there anyplace I can see brief descriptions & instructions for *all* "about:---" addresses I might find useful? I've use Firefox for many years, and have been on Win since 3.1 days (and DOS for years before that), but about:blank and about:config have been pretty much the limit of my experience in this particular area.

A fellow member over at the Avast forums steered me to about:permissions for properly setting up the new click-to-play feature on a per-site basis, and I'm sure there must be several others I would find useful for various purposes. Thanks.

If you go to about:about, it will give you a listing of almost every about page in Firefox.

Many thanks to all of you. Too bad this info wasn't more readily available from, say, the Help menu.
