Get you are offline when starting firefox

[shirish]

Hi all,
  I saw this bug
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/191889

which seems to be related, a workaround which works for me is doing
/etc/init.d/NetworkManager stop

after which firefox starts in an online mode as well as pidgin :)

I know this may be bad way to do things but this is what works for me
atm, Asac any comments?
