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

[Kristian Erik Hermansen]

This is definitely a bug in Firefox.  I agree with many of the other
posters here.  I should not have to rely on NewtorkManager to use
Firefox.  In fact, sometimes I completely disable NM and override
/etc/network/interfaces.  So, marking this as a bug in Firefox appears
valid.  Please don't mark it invalid.  This is something that either
needs to be turned off by default, as in Firefox 2, or have the
algorithm fixed so that it properly detects that you have a network
connection.  If I drop to a terminal and ping 4.2.2.2 successfully, but
Firefox's new algorithm sucks, that's no my fault.  Don't try to start
bundling this bug with NetworkManager...

** Changed in: firefox-3.0 (Ubuntu)
       Status: Invalid => Confirmed
