[Bug 191889] Re: [MASTER] Ubuntu's new "Offline Mode" feature cannot properly detect when there is a valid network available for use in many circumstances

[Kristian Erik Hermansen]

I just wanted to say "I told you so".  I kicked and screamed about this
bug for a while before the official Hardy release, but no one would
listen.  Now, I assure you that the comments to this bug will continue
to grow onwards for the 3 years Hardy is supported on the Desktop, which
is pretty ridiculous.  Firefox is becoming the effective "Operating
System" for constant web browsing folks addicted to web 2.66666..., and
there is no reason Firefox should depend on Network Manager.  I thought
the one thing that set Linux apart from Windows was the decoupling of
components and not forcing people to use certain packages if that is not
necessary.  Ubuntu has taken a turn for the worse in this specific
decision with Firefox, and let's just hope it doesn't continue to happen
in the future.  We have too much to lose as a community.  Let's keep the
progress going and not start to build another Microsoft :-)
