lower "firefox can't find the server at"

when Firefox fails to get to a server, it bumps the message box "firefox can't find the server at [server]".

example: i'm on my main tab, opening several links with middle click. while on it, firefox gets me to a background tab for that message. then when i get back to my main tab, i forget where i was...

the way i want to work is that the message will appear only when i click on that tab (and possibly have the tab flash to some other color until then).

is it possible? is there an addon or about:config twaek that can change it?

Xircal: what i asked is not why i get the message (is seems the server is down, or giving back 404- file not found). what i wanted is to get the message only when i get to the said tab, not while doing something else.

See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Error_loading_any_website

Sometimes the page may have changed in the meantime, but the tab you've gone back to hasn't refreshed to reflect that. Hitting the F5 key to reload the page will work if that is indeed the case.

Try running Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit, possibly the one called "Redirect Remover" you have installed.
