Indeed, "about:" is recognized by Mozilla-based browsers but "about://" is not
(it is probably interpreted as an unknown "about:" URI, attempts to go to
which are ignored).  A list of Mozilla-specific about: URIs can be found at
http://kb.mozillazine.org/About_Protocol_Links ; AFAIK only about:blank
is supported by IE.
