Where has about:blank gone to in Firefox 5? When I put about:blank in the address bar I just get a blank page instead of the configuration list.

about:blank opens Firefox with a blank page.

about:config is what you are looking for.

Many thanks both. I seem to have had a senior moment there :)

Wait a moment, it wasn't me, it was Amit Agarwal, see http://labnol.blogspot.com/2005/11/save-flash-from-firefox-and-ie.html "Firefox for Geeks and Power Users a. Type about:blank in the Firefox address bar"

If I had had my brain switched on when I read it, I would have realised.

Many thanks again.
