User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009011913 Firefox/3.0.6 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

I restored from hibernation and it tried to fire up google.com before my wireless had connected, resulting in the usual "Address not found" page.  However, some GMail javascript was still executing on the error page!  Timer related?

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce

Actual Results:  
GMail connection timer running on an error page.

Expected Results:  
Error page should be completely independent of site visited.

Are you sure this is all one page?  It's possible that only a subframe (which happened to be 100% width and height) failed to load, and the warning is from another subframe or the main page.

I guess I'm not 100% sure :/

Next time this happens, right-click and see if you get menu items related to frames.
