when using [socks] proxy, if target domain cannot be DNS resolved, proxy error shown

"The proxy server you have configured could not be found."

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit a non-existant domain with a proxy

Actual Results:  
"The proxy server you have configured could not be found." alert

Expected Results:  
"Unable to resolve domain." alert - <b>also the URL <u>should</u> be shown in
the URL bar</b> when following a link from another application

This is not just a cosmetic problem as it leaves the user unable to easily tell
if it was a DNS or proxy problem.
