Internet Browser Easter Eggs/Secrets

*UPDATED* - Look in updates section, or the * simbol for updates!

Use Ctrl+F, and type in Ch and then your chapter number to access it: Ex. Ch1.

Contents:
1. Firefox
2. IE
3. Chrome
4. Opera
5. Updates



(Ch1) First off, fabulous Firefox!

URL Secrets:

about:mozilla - A page from the book of Mozilla.

Complete book (Thanks Wikipedia!):

Netscape 1.1
And the beast shall come forth surrounded by a roiling cloud of vengeance. The house of the unbelievers shall be razed and they shall be scorched to the earth. Their tags shall blink until the end of days.

from The Book of Mozilla, 12:10

Netscape 6-7.1, Firefox versions until the next page.
And the beast shall be made legion. Its numbers shall be increased a thousand thousand fold. The din of a million keyboards like unto a great storm shall cover the earth, and the followers of Mammon shall tremble.

from The Book of Mozilla, 3:31
(Red Letter Edition)

Hidden HTML notes in 3:31
<!-- 31st March 1998: the Netscape Navigator source code was released -->
<!-- The source code is made available to the legion of thousands of coders of the open source community, that will fight against the followers of Mammon (Microsoft Internet Explorer). -->

Firefox 1.5-2.0.0.20, Camino, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, Epiphany 1.8.0, Minimo Pocket PC web browser, and Netscape 7.2-8.1.3
And so at last the beast fell and the unbelievers rejoiced. But all was not lost, for from the ash rose a great bird. The bird gazed down upon the unbelievers and cast fire and thunder upon them. For the beast had been reborn with its strength renewed, and the followers of Mammon cowered in horror.

from The Book of Mozilla, 7:15

Hidden HTML notes in 7:15
<!-- 15th July 2003: AOL closed its Netscape division and the Mozilla foundation was created -->
<!-- The beast died (AOL closed its Netscape division) but immediately rose from its ashes (the creation of the Mozilla foundation and the Firebird browser, although the name was later changed to Firefox). -->

Netscape 9.0b1
And thus the Creator looked upon the beast reborn and saw that it was good.

from The Book of Mozilla, 8:20

Firefox 3.0 Beta 3, alpha 1 version of Mobile Firefox, Flock Browser Version 2.0.6, and Songbird.
Mammon slept. And the beast reborn spread over the earth and its numbers grew legion. And they proclaimed the times and sacrificed crops unto the fire, with the cunning of foxes. And they built a new world in their own image as promised by the sacred words, and spoke of the beast with their children. Mammon awoke, and lo! it was naught but a follower.

from The Book of Mozilla, 11:9
(10th Edition)

Hidden HTML notes in 11:9
<!-- 9th November 2004: Firefox 1.0 is officially released -->
<!-- The worldwide support of Firefox fans leads to its success, illustrating the power of community-based open source projects. -->

And Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy reference: "Ironically, the Marketing Division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation defines a robot as, "Your plastic pal who's fun to be with!""

Re: Internet Browser Easter Eggs/Secrets

The kitchen sink one doesn't work.
Also, since people are going on about references, did anyone see the "The Day the Earth Stood Still", and Futurama references?
