DESCRIPTION:  If one attempts to access a secure site (https) without PSM
installed, the error message given is something like "The site ... could not be
reached."  (I don't remember it exactly, and I installed PSM just now, so I
can't check.)  This error message is:
 * wrong
 * not helpful, since the problem can be fixed by installing PSM

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
 * load a secure site without PSM installed

ACTUAL RESULTS:
 * bad error message

EXPECTED RESULTS:
 * error saying PSM is not installed, or saying that the browser is not set up
to reach secure sites, or something...

DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY ON:
 * Linux, mozilla, 2000-07-18
