Description

[Ryan D]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; 0.6) Gecko/20001205
BuildID:    20001205

i use the file "c:\windows\HOSTS" so i don't have to see banner ads. an example:
when i go to "http://www.mozillazine.org/build_comments/", i get an alert
windows stating: "The connection was refused when attempting to contact
www.burstnet.com".
this is annoying since the browser stops loading everything until the user
clicks OK.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
open "c:\windows\HOSTS"
add this to file:
127.0.0.1         www.burstnet.com
goto "http://www.mozillazine.org/build_comments/" or www.burstnet.com to get
alert window

Actual Results:  alert window opens stating: "The connection was refused when
attempting to contact www.burstnet.com".
then you have to click OK to continue loading page.


Expected Results:  ignored the refused connection like IE5 does.
