[Bug 191889] Re: Firefox always start in offline mode (dial up connections not properly handled by network-manager)

[Daniel Newman]

This **is** a firefox bug.  Firefox should be looking for a http server
at its specified home page, either on its own machine or on the network,
to decide whether or not to start offline.  Even better, firefox should
default to starting online and let those who need the oddities of a web
browser without web access switch it to offline if they so require.

One of my machines is set with its default home page on its own http
server (at localhost), and I find it quite illogical for it to tell me
every time it is opened that it can't find the home page - the real
problem is that it hasn't looked for it.

This is a firefox bug, as distinct from network-manager's inept handling
of dial-up connections.
