The page displayed by Bug 1421707's mechanism for blocking about pages is meant to be more of a placeholder than a final UI. This bug addresses updating that UI.
Quoting Amin Al Hazwani from Bug 1421707 Comment 36 on how the UI should look:

This is the icon to be used. It's a small update provided by Amin from what was in design.firefox.com (he will also update the icon on the website with this new one)

Note that there's already a similar icon in the tree, used to show the "deceptive website" block page: http://itisatrap.org/firefox/its-a-trap.html

https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/themes/shared/incontent-icons/blocked.svg

In order to avoid duplication, we should update that icon with this more modern one that was designed as part of the Photon effort.

Note that the existing icon has a white color built-in, whereas this new one supports defining the color through css, like so:
https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/d03ad8843e3bf2e856126bc53b0475c595e5183b/browser/themes/shared/incontentprefs/preferences.inc.css#633
FWIW, the aboutNetError page supports providing a custom page title. Right now it's using the default "Problem loading page", but it'd be nice to reuse the "Page Blocked" label. (no need to create a new string for this, you can reuse the same entity as the big "Page Blocked" in the middle of the page)

See here: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/cac28623a15ace458a8f4526e107a71db1519daf/browser/base/content/aboutNetError.xhtml#182
Brian Jones provided the following string in the design doc:

"Your organization has blocked access to this page or website."

One thing I just noticed is that the page actually requires two strings: a _short description_ and a _long description_

However, I think this string is clear enough that we don't need to have two different ones. Maybe we can leave the long description blank, and use it to later add support for the sysadmin to provide a custom string.

What do you all think?

The Long Description should be optional. Since we can't know why the organization has blocked access, we are not able to offer context that explains to the user a) what's "bad" about the page or b) what, if anything, they can do about it.

If the Long Description can be optional, we can proceed to discussions about whether or not Mozilla can/should provide examples for sys admins (or others at an organization) to use. I believe that discussion would start with Romain?

Instead of creating this new file for blocked.svg, please replace the one in toolkit/themes/shared/incontent-icons/.  Then you'll have to use absolute path for it `(chrome://global/skin/icons/blocked.svg)` but that's ok. 

And then you'll need to add these two extra properties below to the file https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/88e89261ea81860f44a44ed068cf5839aea5def6/browser/themes/shared/blockedSite.css#16

> fill: currentColor;
> -moz-context-properties: fill;

so that the icon picks up the white color for the it's-a-trap page (http://itisatrap.org/firefox/its-a-trap.html)

I'm OK to only have a short description for now.
My understanding is that custom strings cannot be done for 60 but yes let's leave the long description blank for now and we can use it later to support custom strings for sys admins.
