Have you ever heard the phrase “Yo dawg we heard you like…”
?
It introduces the concept of recursion, in that you can put something inside another of itself, and use both objects simultaneously.
For example:
Yo dawg, I heard you like pizza, so I put a pizza inside of your pizza so you can eat pizza while eating pizza!
Or how about the classic:
Yo dawg, I herd yo and yo dawg like yo-yos so we put yo dawg in a yo-yo so yo can yo-yo yo dawg while yo dawg yo-yos, dawg
Did you know that this applies to the Mozilla Firefox web browser as well? You can actually load a Firefox window inside of another Firefox window!
Here’s how you do it:
- Open Firefox, if you aren’t using it already (shame on you).
- Visit
chrome://browser/content/browser.xul
in the address bar - And behold the glory of Firefox inside Firefox!
The reason this works is that Firefox is made using XUL, JavaScript and CSS – similar to websites. What you are doing is loading the Firefox XUL environment inside a tab, just as if you were viewing a HTML page on someone’s website.

Just don’t type Google into Google, or else you’re gonna break the Internet. So please, no one try it, even for a joke.
