53412 - Need alert if network services unavailable

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 25618

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect, P3)

Description

[Adam]

Mozilla M18 2000092008, Mac OS 9.0.4 - If you open Mozilla without an active
internet connection, or if there is some problem with the network, Mozilla just
opens up a blank page, giving no indication that there was any kind of error.
There should be some kind of "unable to create nwk socket connection" alert.

NOTE: If it's feasible, let this be an option (have a "I know so don't ever show
it to me again") so that it doesn't get too annoying like ns4.7.5. This would be
particularly useful for people with dialup connections as the most likely cause
of this error would be that you're not connected to the internet - you don't
need an alert to tell you that.

Bad me - dup of 25618. Updating bug 25618 to platform/OS all and adding request
for disabling the alert.
