Fixes #8135. Makes sure any exception thrown by Firefox when trying to access an XMLHttpRequest property when a network error occured is caught and notified as an error. Added test/networkerror.html to test the behavior.

do you think it would make sense to make it a general try/catch block rather than specific to FireFox? Like the try/catch for Firefox above around setting the xhr.setRequestHeader?

But *THIS* patch is fantastic! Thank you *very* much for doing it.
