Features & Capabilities

The about:about Button is a lightweight WebExtension designed to provide users with quick and easy access to about:* pages directly from the browser's toolbar. Inspired by the popular Firefox add-ons by Button Guy, Kevin Hartmann, and Gary Kwong, this extension adds a convenient button that, when clicked, opens various about: pages like about:config, about:plugins, and more.

Utilizing the distinctive Pastel SVG icon set by Michael Buckley, licensed under Creative Commons Attribution NonCommercial Share Alike 4.0, the extension offers both functionality and appealing visual integration. Please note that due to current WebExtension API limitations, some about: pages may appear greyed out and cannot be opened, reflecting ongoing browser restrictions.

Ideal for power users and developers looking for faster navigation to internal browser pages, the about:about Button streamlines accessing browser settings and diagnostics without typing URLs manually.

I just gave one of your extensions 1 star review, so here: this is what I've wanted for since AIO Sidebar went away with legacy extensions. I think it was the one that could show all the about: pages. Does it have all of them? What about possible other similar stuff - I know there are some other URI beginnings, but don't know if their useful for this (like view-source:). But there might be more I don't know about. Anyway, excellent!

Is about:about Button Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

about:about Button does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

about:about Button has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
