Firefox Easter Eggs

I have put together a list of some cool Firefox easter eggs. You can simply put these into the address bar and hit enter.

What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Some of these are very useful.

The only one that could really be considered an easter egg is about:Mozilla. The rest are essentially queries into the browser itself.

For a complete list try about:about.

Only two of those could actually be considered "easter eggs". The other ones are actual features (albeit maybe not useful for everyone).

FYI, about:mozilla doesn't work in IE anymore.

Also, see about:kitchensink.
