check what version of FF you are running. I think this works in FF3 and if you haven't updated from Firefox/2.0.0.14 this wont work

ha! it worked this time, got a cool picture of a robot saying "Welcome Humans! and then..

"

* Robots have seen things you people wouldn't believe.

* Robots are Your Plastic Pal Who's Fun To Be With.

* Robots have shiny metal posteriors which should not be bitten.

And they have a plan. "

the command i used to get to work is "about:robots" has to have the s at the end

Not really ^^

It's an easter egg bad_brain tipped about. Also it has nothing with what site you are on. It's a local thing for the browser.

thats cool, theres a ton of google easter eggs like if you type google backwards in the search bar then click im feeling lucky, or type google easter egg then click im feeling lucky it has a easter egg game.

I am talking about address bar commands that will do something useful like the 2 above, blank the screen, allow you to change user agent and other configs, ect..

if you want a bunch of google hacks this is a good link
