291624 - Dialog "Alert! The document contains no data" Needs to be more descriptive

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 216466

(Firefox :: General, enhancement)

Description

[essaytbg]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3

On commercial pages with many ad links, there is often (>50%) a defective link
that generates the above Alert. It in effect means that I see 54 rather than 55
ads. Each time it comes up it is a distraction, and I have to stop and close the
alert window. If the alert, at least, gave the name of the document with no data
it could be useful (to a very anal pendant), but without that it is just
something to raise my blood pressure.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Find a page that give the alert, Refreash the page.
2. http://news.inq7.net/index/index.php gives the alert today, but maybe not
tomorrow.
3.

Actual Results:  
You just wasted your time.

Expected Results:  
The alert should be suppressable (be default?), and if displayed give some
useable info.

I'm going to change this to an enhancement and change the title accordingly. A
more discreptive Page Not Found alert box would be nice.
