321003 - Server not found occasionally when visiting friend's Myspace profile

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Belril Dawnslayer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20051220 Firefox/1.6a1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20051220 Firefox/1.6a1

I attempted to visit a friend's myspace profile, Firefox said that it couldn't find the server: "www.myspace.com".  I then reloaded the page using the refresh button, and it worked fine.  That was three days ago.  Today, I attempted to access the same page, and the same thing happened.  I used the same workaround, and it works fine.  

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Visit your myspace homepage (where you can edit, get new messages, and all that jazz.)
2.Visit a friend's profile (in my case: www.myspace.com/justin_e_johnson)
It will sometimes give you the server not found message.  Other times, it'll work just fine.  
Actual Results:  
It worked fine

Expected Results:  
I would recieve the server not found message

I get the same thing frequently myself.  However, do you know it's really Firefox and not their server?  Sometimes pages will *load* mostly and certain generic graphics - like the standard buttons with "Message Me"  "Add Me" and so on will not show up and will display the broken picture icon.  I can't say for sure it's Firefox at fault here.
