Firefox Users: Make Your Useless Page-Not-Found Error Messages Useful

Errorzilla is a replacement for the error page Firefox shows you when you get a dead link; instead of just a "Try Again" button, you get a choice of several actions, including looking up the page on the Google cache, the Wayback Machine, pinging the site to see if it's up, doing a traceroute to check the connection, and running a whois search on the domain to see who owns it.

Firefox users: Install it and give it a try here, on my old Weblog, Wagner's Weblog.. That page went down many months ago, but we never got around to setting up a redirect for it, so it'll let you give Errorzilla workout. (Note to self: Set up a redirect for Wagner's Weblog.)
