ErrorZilla - Useful error pages for Firefox

October 16th, 2006 · No Comments

Ever gone to a site and gotten the dreaded ’site is not available’ or ’server is too busy’ type error? Ever wanted to find out if that’s a fluke or if the site is really down? What about looking at a Google cache or whois information for the domain?

Well now you can easily do all of this and more by installing this excellent extension from Roachfiend.com (makers of MANY other fine extensions - check ‘em out!).

From the developers site:

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.

After installing the ErrorZilla extension, you are presented with a page similar to the image below that allows you to perform many cool operations on that page:

Slick, isn’t it? So take it for a spin, and the next time you’re left staring at a closed door, use this handy extension to get more information.
