I have Firefox 23.0.1 I'm wanting to get into about.config

Everytime I type about.config and press ENTER, it gives me www.about.config and says it cannot find the webpage. I've looked all around and cannot find a solution.

I am running Windows 8.1 preview

about.config is not correct. You need a colon, not period.

about:config

Wound up having to refresh my Windows 8 because it wouldn't let me into Microsoft's store. Now, I no longer have Win 8.1 Preview. About:Config seems to be working right now.

Thanks for the help anyway!
