Firefox 3 Robot Themed Easter Egg

Firefox 3, which was released on Tuesday, has a really cool Easter Egg. Just type “about:robots” in the address bar (aka the “awesome bar”) and nice tribute to the Firefox 3 robot mascot appears.

UPDATE 1: Another Easter Egg, “The Book of Mozilla”, can be found by typing “about:mozilla”.

UPDATE 2: George Kelly make a great sound about “about:robots”.

“And They have a plan”

That last line totally got me :)

If you type in about:mozilla you get another fun little thing.

AllAboutGeorge also has an awesome song about this called “About:Robots”.

It’s been stuck in my head all day.

Yeah, that last bit definitely made it kick ass, but I love all the references. I’d say it gives the user a pretty well-rounded idea of what robots are, what they can and cannot do, what they’ve seen, what you should not do to them, etc.

robots is a plan Mozilla have for firefox.
it’s the name of a set of modules-like plugins for how they want to “grow” the browser beyond it’s current platform and abilities…..stay tuned

If nobody has clicked on the Try Again button, I strongly urge you to do so. Twice ;)

Anyone else notice the last bullet? A reference to Bender?
