[Bug 238660] [NEW] about:about gives strange error

[Thinboy00]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

If you navigate to "about:foobar", Firefox tells you "the URL is not valid and cannot be loaded."  If you try "about:" it shows you the info from Help -> About
If you navigate to "about:about" Firefox redirects you to jar:file:///usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9/chrome/toolkit.jar!/content/global/aboutAbout.html and tells you that it cannot be located (File not Found).  This behavior also occurs if you do in a terminal gksudo "firefox about:about".

To reproduce:
1. Go to about:about in the Location bar

What happens:
File not Found

What should happen:
Either it should behave identically to about:foobar or it should give a listing of all about: URIs.
