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

[Jeremy Wilkins]

Ok, it was reported in February, now it is well into May, Jaunty has
been released already.  Has anyone even tried to fix this?  I think the
about:config workaround above does seem to fix it for Firefox, but is
there a reason why we shouldn't just force that as a default or if that
isn't feasible to permit browsing to the local loopback/net addresses at
least regardless of network status?  NetworkManager does many great
things, but making programs dependent upon it is ridiculous.  It doesn't
always know if a particular address will be available or not.  If I am
travelling and I do not have a network connection Firefox prevents me
from browsing to localhost.  That is plain stupid!  Konqueror browses to
localhost just fine without a network.  I am running Jaunty with the
latest updates installed, but it still isn't fixed.
