OK. This isn't a case that Firefox's intent handling was designed to handle
— it's a page that doesn't actually load.

That's unusual. Consider something like https://play.google.com, which is
handled by the Play Store app.

I suppose there are two things we can do here:

1. Show you the error page, but still check to see if there's an app.
That's not pretty, but at least you'll be able to tap the app affordance.
2. Do something less ugly, like show an affordance bar at the top: "this
page didn't load, but here's an app that claims to handle this URL".

What do you expect to happen here, Axel?
