299558 - 'Page load error' page isn't evidently from the browser

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 280190

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Max]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050702 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050702 Firefox/1.0+

It isn't clear that the 'page load error' page (ie. the page that now appears
when  one goes to a URL that doesn't exist) is coming from Firefox, and not from
the server that is trying to be accessed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to some non-existent website, eg. www.blaah.blaah
Actual Results:  
A page appears which is not clearly from Firefox

Expected Results:  
All this page really needs added is something like 'Mozilla Firefox' at the
bottom of the page, so that we know that Firefox is giving us this page.
Internet Explorer has something like this for its 404 page.





In general, this page could overall be improved a bit, for example, it should
say something like 'Firefox could not find this page' etc. etc.

Looks like a dupe of bug 280190 . Max do you agree?

I'm not sure because that bug seems to be regarding the visual appearance of the
error page whereas this bug is regarding the content itself.

Did you look at the screenshot and the patch it appears to change the content
quite a bit as well as its appearance.

See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=187466

If further changes are needed then that bug is probably the place to make such
comments as that is where the changes appear to be taking place.

Yes, I agree then... but how do you find dupes like this so fast? I looked for
ages and couldn't find any bug like this one!
