it actually can be bookmarked. i am missing something?

I don't think so, unless they mean that the individual profiles themselves can't be bookmarked. I certainly have about:profiles bookmarked only to make it appear in the URL bar slightly faster when I start typing, but it also does open through the bookmarks menu.

OH! this is super clever after a decade of me typing about:config and other that I never remember completely ! this is so much easier ;p

Yeah, that's become my main use for bookmarks. I prefer to treat the URL bar like a CLI as much as I can, and to not have the bookmarks bar take up space.

Actually, it would be kind of awesome if the URL bar really could act more like a command line for the browser. Hmmm.

interesting maybe this could be done with an extension using the omnibox api...

Seems I was thoroughly misremembering. I guess I was thinking it nice to be able to pin it to New Tab or make it a toolbar button or something, and my brain just compacted that beyond recognition. Sorry for that.

thanks, today I learned.

Firefox has useful about:about pages.

With some revamp they could capitalize on some of them much more. After newtab, the last addition was "Firefox View" for recently closed tabs or synced tabs. I'd wish the same for history, bookmarks and downloads. Those very much show their origin as sqlite browser.
