Description
This isn't a big deal, but it would be nice to have an option to automatically display a popup with archive options when you arrive at a 404 page or similar. I could see myself forgetting about this extension and giving up on a broken page otherwise. Plus, it would just be a little quicker and more convenient. Here's what I'm imagining:

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating how the extension detects navigation failures and opens its existing interface, then determine how 404 or similar responses can trigger the proposed archive-options popup. Done should include a defined trigger, an option to enable it, and coverage for the expected behavior.
