about:logo — Displays the application logo (Mozilla Suite, SeaMonkey, and Firefox 3).

about:kitchensink — Was never included in Mozilla for the reasons listed in Bug 122411 (”Mozilla does not have a kitchen sink”). You can install an extension that adds it though :)

The newest Book of Mozilla is 11:9 BTW
http://www.mozilla.org/book/ (scroll down to the bottom)
It has two hidden links
