FW: about:global in Netscape

[Steve Clancy]

Greetings.

There are several "Easter Eggs" (the technical term ;-) "hidden"  in
Netscape.  A good list can be found at
"http://weber.u.washington.edu/~davidnf/eggs/apps/netscape.html".

Some don't work in all versions of Netscape; most work in Mac and Windows
versions. some are useful, some aren't.  I like to use them to liven up
WEB classes.

I see others have also responded, but here are my faves:


  1.Just press CRTL+ALT+F and you'll go the Netscape fishcam! 
  2.In the location field type "about:mozilla" 

  3.Description: make that annoying bar on the bottom go away!
    press CTRL+ALT+S to make it disappear 
    press CTRL+ALT+S to make it reappear 

  4.Description: Status report of active URL's
    press CTRL + ALT + t 

  5.History of visited URL's
    Type "about:global"

  6.Installed plugins
    Type "about:plugins"

Some of these I've found by trial and error (makes you wonder why I have
so much free time.  I have to agree that the "about:global" one could be
put to good use.
