On a network with no WAN link,Fenix will silently fail to load links with no error notification. For comparison, Chrome will generally display an error page, e.g. "This site can't be reached". ### Steps to reproduce 1. Load a top news site (e.g. bbc.com, cnn.com, ) in Fenix 2. Disconnect your wireless access point from the WAN 3. Click on a link ### Expected behavior An error is displayed or other indication that the pageload failed In Chrome, the error page displayed is generally "This site can't be reached" ### Actual behavior The pageload progress bar disappears and thus the pageload silently fails without notification Here's an example profile with `nsHttp:5,nsSocketTransport:5,profilermarkers` logs as markers. https://share.firefox.dev/3XL4yil From the user's perspective, the page load silently fails after about 47 seconds. Note that while these particular steps to reproduce are artificial (i.e. disconnecting the access point from the WAN), scenarios in which the access point loses connection to WAN are common for mobile users. e.g. • wifi on a public transit as it travels between areas of coverage, • events/venues: device may be able to connect to venue's wifi network, but there may not be stable WAN uplink to handle all users ### Device information * Firefox version: Fx129, also seeing same behaviour in Fx127, release channel * Android device model: Samsung A54 * Android OS version: 14 ### Any additional information?
