Reporter licence agreement text does not load when no internet connection is
available. Instead it shows this "new error page". I could still check that
checkbox "I agree" and press next.

This bug will show up very rare because none would report a broken website with
no internet connection available. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get yourself a fresh install of FF (or at least Reporter extension)
2. Unplug your internet cable or disable network card 
3. Navigate Help>Report broken website
4. ... see what happens

Actual Results:  
"Web page not found" shows up in licence agreement textbox.

Expected Results:  
Show some kind of warning and do not allow to press "Next" button.

this is really a low priority issue, as once we land the patch to disable the
reporter link when no web page is open, you will have needed to have had a
connection to open reporter.

The only case where it would still happen is if you had a connection to visit a
site, disconnected, and opened reporter.

Because that's a unusual case, this isn't to high of a priority, it will just
time out as is.  I'll hopefully get a patch for this soon.

Reporter isn't a maintained project. Closing!
