It's a outrage that Firefox only has these two adorable error icons for the mascot so far: https://github.com/mozilla-firefox/firefox/tree/4cbe9648c5d4c1cf600b7a8c3589e4589541ded5/toolkit/themes/shared/illustrations

Firefox error screenshots with a drawn fox face looking alarmed or playing with a broken power cord

@benjojo But what's worse is that Firefox doesn't even display the raw reason anymore, not even HTTP status codes (if a website has no error page and only sends the headers)

@wrmsr @benjojo yep, have to pull out a shell and curl since those ambiguous messages are shown.
