I don't think the browser app has any way to know that airplane mode is enabled, and the error messages are provided by Gecko.

Probably should move it to system then, since the system should tell the apps if there is network connectivity of any type... Is that correct?

If you mean we should implement browser app error pages in the system app, I don't think that would work.

We don't have a spec for the browser behaving any differently in airplane mode, or any special error messages. I think this is a feature request.

I think these need to implemented as error messages in Gecko.
