[Christian Schweer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826

Current situation:
If you enter a invalid proxy in the manual proxy configuration and try to go to
any webpage a alert message "webpage-xx could not be found. Please check the
name and try again." is displayed.

How it should be:
The alert box should state, that the proxy xyz could not be found.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter an invalid HTTP-proxy in the manual configuration section (e.g.
proxy.test.nowhere, port 80)
2. try to go to any existing website (e.g. http://dict.leo.org/?lang=de)
3. the alert box with the misleading error message is displayed.
Actual Results:  
the message is "dict.leo.org could not be found. Please check the name and try
again."

Expected Results:  
the message should be "proxy.test.nowhere could not be found. Please check the
name and try again." or something similar
