Details

We've had some DNS problems this morning, and some attempts to load external 
pages failed the first time. Now, when I try to reload those pages (without 
quitting and restarting Mozilla), I still get old copies of the page, even 
with a shift-reload. 4.x now loads a newer version of the page just fine.

2 problems:
1. We need a dialog in these situations that says 'Cannot fetch a current 
version of the page from the network; a cached copy will be loaded instead'.
2. Why is Mozilla not able to fetch the current version of the page, now that
   it's available?
Target Milestone: --- → mozilla0.9.1
this is strange. I do know that between me, darin and gordon we have a bug about
not displaying stuff from the cache if network if down. cc'ing darin
Priority: -- → P3
off to 0.9.2
Target Milestone: mozilla0.9.1 → mozilla0.9.2
This is a Request For Enhancement and a potential bug.  Neither seem related to
the Cache Service.

Original is much broader implementation of idea described here.

Also in need of lots of UI design and feedback (hint...hint, mpt).
