"Server not found?" Well naturally you didn't type the address incorrectly. Heck, we're all more or less nerds here so typing isn't a very error prone process. Regardless of the reason for the inability of firefox to load the page you're looking for (your network is acting lame, your internet sucks, the website's overburdened or the websites host is run out of the back of the Knight Rider truck...) of course you want firefox to try again! No more clicking the little button, it'll do it by itself. Every 5 seconds. Until you tell it to stop. Simple.

This has been heavily modified by my brother, Paul, who is a much better programmer than I. (I'm just a bit of a hobbyist whereas he's a computer science grad student.) Now there's a much more robust dedicated extension for Firefox based on this code. The extension, TryAgain, is made by Mathijs Lagerberg with a nifty icon designed by me (so I can still feel useful!) It's much better as it stops when you start typing in the address bar (which is impossible to do in a user-script), has custom timings and a few more perks.
