If you happen to use the Mozilla Firefox web browser, here are a few little hidden things about it you may not have heard about.

Running Firefox inside Firefox
Type chrome://browser/content/browser.xul inside the address bar and it will launch another instance of Firefox inside Firefox.

Tying about:robots in the address bar makes this show up:

Typing about:credits will give you a list of everyone involved in the development of the browser in one way or another. The list is long.

The Book of Mozilla is cool too. Gotta love opensource programmers. I once found a reference to Spiderman in one program’s code.
