Talk:About URI scheme
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As far as I can tell, the about: addresses do not work in the Mac version of IE; they all give a blank page. I'm not sure if this has always been the case, but on the latest version (5.2.3). Made changes to the article to reflect this, though I didn't go so far as to say that there aren't any that work -- don't really know for sure. If anybody has more information on this issue, it would probably be useful to include.
On a version of Internet Explorer that I've used, there's "about:tabs", which provides information on a new feature that allows viewing of multiple websites in the same window. --Gray Porpoise 22:07, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] about:about works in Firefox...
You just need the MR Tech about:about extension. Works just like about:about in Mozilla.
In my install of Firefox 2.0.0.6 on WinXP about:about does neither display an error window nor does it anything to the page that is currently loaded. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.180.169.88 (talk) 16:01, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:BookofMozilla.PNG
Image:BookofMozilla.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] about:logo in Firefox
about:logo appears to do nothing in Firefox. It does not even load a blank page. It simply acts like it is loading a page, but then does nothing. Is this the case for other users? --cattrain 04:45, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
Firefox 3.0b1 does load the logo at least on openSUSE 10.3 - I suppose that is true for all systems and will be true for the final version as well. The question now is: Should the table header be changed to "Mozilla Application Suite/SeaMonkey/Firefox <= 2.0.0.x | Firefox 3.0" or should the text in the row be edited instead? I won't decide that. --89.27.242.35 (talk) 21:32, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] About:NavigationFailure and About:NavigationCancel
About:NavigationFailure and About:NavigationCancel do not belong in the Internet Explorer about box because any About:<unknownsyntax> will yield the results. The result is not due to the code following "about:". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Worddoc (talk • contribs) 07:32, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] opera:drives and opera:button
opera:drives and opera:button do not work in my version of Opera: Opera 9.25 on Linux. Do they work in newer beta versions and/or on other operating systems or are those pages deprecated? Daniel andersson (talk) 21:41, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] why not make the about: adresses clickable?
I was wondering if it would be a nice idea to make the actual about: adresses hyperlinks. this way you could immediately test the link in your own browser. Koesper (talk) 13:18, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
