For those who may be curious, Firefox still lists all their metapages [0], which makes exploring under the hood pretty easy.

[0] about:about

I don't think it lists 100% of them. For example, I think there might be one that forces a crash for debugging purposes? There are definitely some that are used for displaying errors and things (eg about:httpsonlyerror).

You could probably find more with searchfox, using a better query than https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/search?q=about%3A&path...

Some are omitted. Like about:blank.
