Currently in firefox 3.06 its Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> General -> click the "check now" button

So instead of knowing about the about:: command you still have to find the option 5 clicks deep within the menu. The average user would be hard pressed finding that unless they knew where to look in the first place.
