(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[u81239]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; nl; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050706 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; nl; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050706 Firefox/1.0+

The current network error pages are not very comfortable to read.

The following things need to be changed:

1. Bigger font size
2. More spacing between the lines (e.g. a line-height of 1.2)
3. A lighter background
4. Give the background a little more padding

Suggested values:

1. font-size: medium;
2. line-height: 1.2;
3. background-color: #EEF;
4. padding: 0.5em;

Comfortably read what just went wrong.

Could you provide a screenshot of what you are seeing so we can compare it to
what it should be?

This is being worked on and will be improved before the firefox 1.1 release.

Looking good.

Seems it will be much better than the small improvements I had intended to make.
