[Bug 191889] Re: [MASTER] [WORKAROUND] "Offline Mode" feature fails to detect proper online state for networks that are managed outside of network manager.

[Alexander Sack]

launcspad: yeah, thats because its a NM bug :) ... anyway, 3.0.1 lets
you set a preference called toolkit.networkmanager.disable ... so if you
dont want the NM online state to be considered in firefox go to
about:config, and set that preference to true.


** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
  
  DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
  DISTRIB_RELEASE=8.04
  DISTRIB_CODENAME=hardy
  DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu hardy (development branch)"
  Firefox 3.0b3
  When I start firefox from the panel it always start in offline mode. I am connected via wireless to a network that is always on. When I want to browse I need to unclick "work offline"
+ 
+ Workaround 1: (since ffox 3.0.1) ->
+  set toolkit.networkmanager.disable to false in about:config
