Looks like for firefox at least, it sets WM_WINDOW_ROLE to "About", so
you could customize your floating layout to capture them:
floating_layout = layout.Floating(float_rules=[{"role": "About"}])
It seems like it would be reasonable to float those by default,
though, some thing like this:

If nobody objects, I'll push that soon :)
