    Thats nothing new
    the same exists in the Mozilla suite since 1.x
    It generally changes with a new version so I hear

    Hell go and install Netscape 3/4/6/7 and you'll get the same

    Try also, about:firefox. You can also try about:firesomething but only if you have the Firesomething extension installed. Gives you a few other quotes from the Book of Mozilla, google for Book of Mozilla for more.

    Firesomething changes the titlebar text from Mozilla Firefox to other random words. Mine is currently MickySoft Moonstarfish. Silly, yes. Hillarious, well, no.

    It is pretty cool and has existed for a while. Typing about:mozilla into Internet Explorer gives a fake BSOD.

    The 7:15 refers to the date when Netscape was shut down by AOL. ("And so at last the beast fell"), and the setting up of the Mozilla Foundation ("for from the ash rose a great bird").

    For more info see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_Of_Mozilla

    This doesn't work for me? I just get an "Action cancelled" page.

    Me and all. Some cheeky chap at MS must have fixed it in XPSP2, because it worked before that.
