(Whiteboard: has patch in bug 292624) 

When JavaScript is disabled, and XUL error pages are enabled, the error pages
have severe loss of functionality.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

0. javascript.enabled == false, browser.xul.error_pages.enabled == true.
1. Attempt to load the URL for this bug.

Actual Results:

The error page loaded, but nothing was present except for the 'Try Again' button.

Expected Results:

The error page should have loaded the same as it would have done with
javascript.enabled == true.

I have a suspiscion that this is caused because the URI (that appears in the
location bar) is the URI of the page that failed, and not a chrome URI. I might
of course be completely wrong... JavaScript is not disabled for other chrome
places (the browser would be in trouble otherwise!)
WFM, with Mozilla 1.8b1/Firefox 1.0.2 and the settings from step 0 I still get
the usual Address Not Found errorpage, maybe this is a Linux-only bug?
Confirmed with linux trunk 2005041505

Confirming on WinXP SP2, came across this while working on bug 280190 (error
page restyling)

OS needs to change to All.  Additionally, this might need to block aviary1.1
since I hear error pages will be turned on by default?

I probably have a solution for this at the same time as bug 292624.
