Details

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b3) Gecko/20050714
Firefox/1.0+

Steps to reproduce:
1. Disconnect from the Internet.  (e.g. click the Airport icon in the menu bar
and select "Turn AirPort Off".)
2. Type some URLs into the address bar.

Result: "Address Not Found Error" or "Connection Failure Error", depending on
whether I have visited the site recently.

Expected: "You are not connected to the Internet" (like Safari).  For bonus
points, include a button that opens Network Diagnostics (like Safari does).

I have not tried to reproduce on Windows or Linux.
Jesee: I didn't know you had a Mac :)

still true?
for various reasons, we don't mirror network connectivity and offline status most of the time (bagder can say more). I think that's ok.
