Contents of my /etc/hosts is as follows:

127.0.1.1       amidea.dev      amidea sanad.sanad.amidea.dev

Firefox is NOT in Offline Mode, however with the network disconnected
I'm unable to access a local site using Firefox v30. Firefox requires
network connection to even browse local sites resolving to
127.0.1.1/127.0.0.1.

Chrome (v35) can access the site normally as depicted in the screenshot.

Occurs in Linux Mint 17 64-bit.

Should I report a new bug? Because this happens irrespective of Work
Offline checked or not. Bug 339814 seems to only cater to when Work
Offline is checked.
