[Bug 255900] [NEW] Erroneous error message in Firefox

[Chris Jeffries]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

The message below also occurs when a web site is blocked by the Chinese government (and probaby other censors either governments or companes). It would be useful if this sort of action was listed as one of the causes of failure to load a web page so that people don't waste time pursuing pointless courses of action:
=======================================================
Network Timeout

The server at www.thechinadebate.org is taking too long to respond.

The requested site did not respond to a connection request and the
browser has stopped waiting for a reply.

    * Could the server be experiencing high demand or a temporary outage?  Try again later.
    * Are you unable to browse other sites? Check the computer's network connection.
    * Is your computer or network protected by a firewall or proxy?  Incorrect settings can interfere with Web browsing.
    * Still having trouble? Consult your network administrator or Internet provider for assistance.
