That looks like the Firefox timeout message. It seems to get displayed if the site that I'm trying to connect to doesn't answer at all within a certain time period -- i.e., if the status message at the bottom of the browser window never gets past "Connecting..." That message does
not come up if the server is busy (doing backups or something). In that case the status message will say "Waiting..." instead, sometimes for several minutes.
It isn't usually easy to tell whether a timeout is caused by something at PC's end of the internet, something at your end, or something in between. Sometimes you can make an educated guess, going by what other sites are affected and how long the problem persists.
