272217 - A popup error message shows up when mozilla cannot find the page

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 216466

(Firefox :: Disability Access, defect)

Description

[andrelourenco]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

When a webpage is not available, mozilla brings up a popup message with the
error. I think that this is not quite the best option when talking about
accessibility compliance. Intead, an in-page error mesage should be displayed.

This is particulary anoying when our connection goes down, and we decide to open
10 tabs at once... mozilla brings up 10 error pop-up messages!!!

Since some efforts were done to prevent popup ads once, a litle effort could be
done to prevent one more popup :)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to ccessibility compliance
2. check the pop up error message
3. click ok to make it go away and loose a bit of patience and time in the proccess.



Expected Results:  
display an in-line error page like explorer and opera 7.60+
