Captive portals are generally found at public wi-fi hot-sports,
Starbucks, Airports. Firefox uses this to detect if it's trapped in a
captive portal (success.txt not found) or can really access the internet
(success.txt found). In other words it's just Firefox checking for
Man-in-the-middle setups.
If you put that URL into your hosts file. Firefox may decide that you
are caught in a fake wi-fi hotspot.

Guard us from the she-wolf and the wolf, and guard us from the thief,
