An enhancement I have been thinking about for a while is that the Alert dialog
that shows up when trying to go to an unreachable URL should also contain an
adress field with the unreachable URL posted in it so it is possible to correct
typing errors.  This field should have focus when the alert is displayed.

Reproducible: Always
that's what the location field is for
I got a comment about "Thats what the location field is for", but I think that
this is a usability enhancement. You probably want to try to type the address
again or go somewhere else. This would save a couple of key combinations (enter
to close the alert, and ctrl+l for location) or a few clicks.
In nightlies, the dialog is gone and replaced by an error page.

We ditched the dialogs in 1.5.
