Please don't modify my bug's title or description, I know what I am talking about here.

I meant the URL about:, which is supposed to give an about page in the browser itself.

xulrunner-1.9 1.9~b4+nobinonly-0ubuntu1, epiphany-browser 2.22.0-0ubuntu5+ppa2 (my own PPA version, just a patched stock version with the patch mentioned in bug #118749. This occurred with the stock Hardy Epiphany.
