Firefox about protocol broken since v59?

Ever since Firefox v59 (or was it v58) with the Quantum engine, the 'about:' protocol stopped working. In earlier versions, 'about:' would give information about the version of Firefox, version number, build number, etc. Now it just says "Hmm. That address doesn’t look right." Will this ever be fixed or is it gone forever?

Page about: is gone forever.

But the protocol is not broken. Check the about:about page.
