ive ran into that problem before, at first i just unchecked "work off
line" in firefox, and everything was fine as long as ppp interface was
being used.  I believe its a flaw in the vodaphone software that doesnt
pass the connection is available to firefox for some reason.  you can
also use gnome-ppp, not as bloaty, and firefox recognizes the
connection.  thats what i use, snap to setup, fill in a couple lines,
and click connect.
