I don't know when it happened, but firefox changed their error page and it sucks.
A 404 (with no body content) now shows "Could not connect to server".
This is the same error it shows if I make up a fake url pointing to a domain with no DNS.
As someone who supports a CMS for a living this is fucking infuriating.

"Firefox error pages have a fresh new look, with updated visuals that better match the overall feel of Firefox. The redesigned pages create a more cohesive experience while making it clearer what went wrong."
Horseshit.

With this decision, firefox has made screenshots of an error literally useless. This forces people into the browser dev tools.
