FF4 combined a bunch of files into omni.jar -- unzip it to edit (it's a zip file, unzip to its own folder, don't just do it inside of the firefox folder). It's located different places depending on your OS; in Ubuntu, it's usually in /usr/local/firefox/ or /usr/share/firefox.

Depends on what you want to edit in the error page, but here are two possibilities inside omni.jar:

  • omni.jar-unzipped/chrome/en-US/locale/en-US/global/netError.dtd
  • omni.jar-unzipped/chrome/toolkit/global/netError.xhtml

You'll need to redo any changes any time you upgrade Firefox. Back everything up too, just in case!
