Apologies for the OT post but I recall seeing a fair number of FF users
here. Can anyone tell me whether the Firefox Support Forum servers are
broken please?

Or perhaps the forum itself has a new URL?

Since upgrading to FF4 today, when I try to use my bookmarked link
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=38 or just
http://forums.mozillazine.org I get this error:

--------------------
General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]
Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet',
system error: 111 [2013]
An sql error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact an
administrator if this problem persists.

I get the same. Looks like it's down.

Searching the Firefox pages, it seem that Mozillazine isn't the
recommended port of call for users. See the Firefox Support page:

http://support.mozilla.com

I found that the answer is YES, it is broken.
