    Type about:robots into Firefoxs address bar. you get a page addressed to robots, with lines referencing classic science fiction, including a nod to teh film The Day the Earth Stood Still and the famous robot laws. theres even a button that says "Try Again" that just responds to u.

    Then try about:mozilla, which shows a short cryptic verse on a dark red background from "The Book of Mozilla" 馃う these have been in Firefox for years. who knew my browser had a lore section? thx in advance!!

    about:processes shows a task manager for tabs and extensions inside Firefox. Not an easter egg, but very handy. hope that helps :)

    been there man about:about is the real power move... it lists every about: page, including useful ones like about:memory, about:performance and about:processes. hope that helps :)

    Chrome has its own internal pages but fewer jokes. Firefox wins on charm here. fingers crossed 馃
