User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/114.0
Steps to reproduce:
type "about:settings" in URL bar, press enter.
Actual results:
prompt "adress appears to be incorrect" appears.
Expected results:
For all us multi-browser-engine users it would be super helpful if that string redirects to "about:preferences", as all (or most) Chromium-based browsers even redirect "about:settings" (even without double-slash) to "chrome://settings", and do not only accept "chrome:settings" and "chrome://settings".
