I'm working on improving this in bug 676795 (although progress has 
temporarily stalled while I complete another project).

See a couple of the mockups here:

The style change also applies to certificate errors, safebrowsing 
errors, the private browsing page, session restore, and a bunch of other 
things (it's a surprisingly large list).

My work only affects the visual appearance, however.

A couple of years ago, there was an experiment to integrate herdict.org 
into the error pages. Herdict is a crowd-sourcing way of finding out if 
a website is down, or if it's just you (or the country you're in) that 
can't load it. I don't know why that ultimately didn't get into Firefox; 
Boriss will know more.
