ErrorZilla - Useful error pages for Firefox
Changes the default error page from basically having a reload button to having the following choices: a google cache, an archival snapshot from the wayback machine, a ping, a trace route, and a whois lookup. Updated: version 0.2 adds a coralize feature.
Install ErrorZilla 0.2
(Size: 23kb Release Date: September 24th 2006)
Tested on Firefox 2.0b1.

Wonderful idea but it doesn’t work on Firefox 1.5.0.6 :-(
No errors, ist just does nothing (shows the regular error page), even if I toggle browser.xul.error_pages.enabled (which I thought might cause an effect)
The requested URL could not be retrieved
While trying to retrieve the URL: http://www.no-existo-page-o.net/
The following error was encountered:
Unable to determine IP address from host name for www.no-existo-page-o.net

That’s me of comment #1 again.
I found that the reason for the failure is the fact that the error page is delivered from the squid proxy I’m forced to use at work. So ErrorZilla seems to see a delivered page and stays in the background.
Maybe there’s a way to improve ErrorZilla that way that it detects if that error page comes from squid? If it helps: the header of the server response on a non-existant page contains the lines
HTTP/1.x 503 Service Unavailable
Server: squid/2.5.STABLE1
X-Squid-Error: ERRDNSFAIL 0

I haven’t tried this yet, but I hope you have some logic in place so as not to override a custom error page a site owner may have put up. If I’ve got a special page designed to help those at my site find things, you potentially are going to prevent them from getting better help. When Microsoft did this, the logic was to look and see if a 404 page was bigger to some degree than a typical 404 page — if so, they didn’t put up their own error. Again, it might be already built in like this to your extension and kudos if so.

what about also providing a list of alternatives (as links) — for example if you tried:

alternatives would be:

I really like this extension. Its great that you added Coralize. But there are still the page caches at other big search engines and stuff like mirrordot.org, duggmirror.com that could be included. Obviously you have to limit the number of buttons or it would just be confusing, but you could create an options page that would either allow users to toggle from a larger selection of cache buttons or allow the user to add their own buttons.
September 29th, 2006 at 1:46 am
Fabulous extension! I’m wondering if it wouldn’t be possible to make the background customizable. Since you’re using a transparency effect in the error box, would it be possible to overlay that on top of the page you were on before you got the error? That way, there would be a logical progression from being on a working page to an error which results in you NOT leaving that page — as opposed to going to a blank page with a list of options.

Hi,
Could you please make an option to manually execute ErrorZilla, even when the page is delivered?
It would help in all the 404s, or even when a page is taking too long to load and one would prefer the Google cache instead… It would also allow this nice feature of being able to go to any page and look at what the Wayback Machine has for that page :-)

[…] Like most browsers, Firefox displays a somewhat useless error page when it cannot connect to a web site for some reason. Usually, it has nothing to do with your system as suggested by the error page and hitting the reload button is unlikely to fix problems on the server end. ErrorZilla replaces this error page with one that not only looks better, but allows you to attempt several useful things in addition to the standard “Retry.” You can press a button to attempt to view the page in Google’s cache, in the Wayback Machine, or via Coralize. Other buttons let you try to ping the site, do a traceroute to the site, or use Whois to try to find out information about who owns the site. This is a very useful Firefox extension. I’d like to thank “Donkarl83″ for suggesting this extension via email this weekend. […]

Group the options into 3 categories (3 rows, etc):

RE @Danny Sullivan:
“I haven’t tried this yet, but I hope you have some logic in place so as not to override a custom error page a site owner may have put up. If I’ve got a special page designed to help those at my site find things, you potentially are going to prevent them from getting better help.

Again, it might be already built in like this to your extension and kudos if so.”
If you look closely, the extension is not really “modifying” the behavior of 404 errors but rather Server not found errors. You know, the types of errors when the server cannot be contacted to begin with (ie: dns problems, network problems, etc) and thus there is no “custom error page setup by the owner” to display anyways.
In any case, great idea for an extension. Some power users will find it useful.
October 17th, 2006 at 2:11 pm
Is there any way we could either get the buttons replaced with links, or have an option to replace them with links? I absolutely LOVE this extension, but want the ability to open the certain options in separate tabs. :)

requerer errorzilla 0.2
November 6th, 2006 at 11:35 pm
Hi!
Would it be possible to integrate certain privacy guards into the request-flow ?
I use Privoxy. Of course, this means, that it is Privoxy doing the DNS resolve and not Firefox itself anymore. Thus, any “no route to host” is being handled by Privoxy instead of errorzilla and Firefox gets a valid page (the error page of Privoxy.
Now the special services errorzilla provides are lost.
I see two solutions:
a) implementing those special services in the Privoxy error-handling page (which I rather would turn off, at least for 404, since I think errors should be handled by the user-agent). This would mean I am alone and need to deliver a patch to the Privoxy team.
b) have Errorpage evaluate certain Privoxy returns. Seems hackish.
c) (related to [a]): Have Privoxy only intercept its own errors (page blocked by administrator, etc.) but not the standard ones for http.
d) Make both projects aware of each other and offer a channel for communication. Both humanly as well as programmatically. Privoxy could send a special return code, that gets evaluated only by Errorzilla, making all transparent.
P.S. Above email is valid for a month.
P.P.S. It may be I have missed something in the Privoxy settings, I will ask the devs the next days whether my assumption is correct, that the error-pages come always.
November 8th, 2006 at 10:46 am
Hey, this is a great Add-on, but I got suggestion for you. Many sites end up being ‘dugg’ or ‘Slashdotted’, could you add a button to allow you to add the link to bring up the Add Bookmark window? As to allow later review when the site is not so popular, and back up again.
This would save the need for the need for the icon on the Toolbar, or using the keyboard shortcut.
Serious appologies if this has been mentioned before, I didn’t fancy reading 81 posts.

Great extension! I also modified it to include a button to remove a redirected URL. Why? Because I block pop-up advertising sites in my HOSTS file, and some of them include sites that redirect URLs. It’s not perfect, but it’ll take a URL like “http://www.qksrv.net/click-457732?url=http://www.graveyardmall.com/” and remove everything from the beginning of the url to right before the next “http”. Here’s the code:
function decodeIt(){
var failedSite = getOriginalLocation();
var decodedURL = unescape(failedSite.replace(/+/g, " "));
window.content.location.href = decodedURL.replace(/http.*http/, "http");
}
/* ———— And Later On… ———— */

March 21st, 2007 at 3:24 pm
Awesome addon. Should be part of the standard browser.
I’ve found a bug with the “Retry This”, though. If I go to a site that’s down, then click one of the buttons like Trace or Wayback, then click the back button, then click Retry This again, it doesn’t try to reload the page. Instead, it goes back to what I clicked on before (Trace or Wayback). In doing so, it clears the URL history so that I can no longer click back to get to the 404 page.
March 21st, 2007 at 4:04 pm
Okay, don’t know if this is the BEST way to fix it, but I fixed the Retry This bug by using “location.replace(location.href);” instead of “location.reload();” in the retryThis() function.
I recreated the previous posters fix to make it use domaintools. You can pass the whole URL to domaintools and it will figure out just what to strip off.
For those interested, find the errorzilla.jar file in a directory below your profile’s extensions directory. If you can open it directly as a zip file, good. If not, rename it to errorzilla.zip (you may want to close FF first). Find content/netError.xhtml and open it in a text editor. Make the changes above. You’ll probably have to save it to a temp location, then drag it back into the zip to overwrite the old netError.xhtml. Rename the .zip back to .jar if you need to. Then you should be good to go.
