Overview

When a requested web page cannot be loaded, Firefox should display an error page that not only describes the problem, but which also presents the user with tools to resolve the issue. It also makes sense to extend this functionality to webserver 404 (File not found) responses as well.

Implementation is being tracked in bug 482874.

Potential Use Cases

Test Strategy

Test Case URLs

  • Develop a set of test URLs to trigger each error

Litmus

  • Layout and Content of error pages
  • Suggestions
  • Search
  • Try again
  • Tools
  • More Information

Caveats

  • Browser error page vs Custom webserver error pages
  • XSS, prevent by making page chromeless
  • Google Link Doctor privacy
  • One-click access to webserver error page?

Schedule

Estimate amount of time it will take to complete feature (Consider nightly builds, security reviews, bugs turnaround time)
