In my case the browser starts up in off line mode the majority of the time but no always. If I deselect off-line mode and click "try Again" it usually works fine although it has been known to go back to off line during if a hyperlink opens an new page.

Yes I confirm this error too, version installed 3.0.3+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu1.
Please correct this bug, it's a bit annoying to unmark offline-mode option always firefox starts, and in preferences there is no the possibility to set mode.

bug 191889 is fixed (I confirm that it is for me). Could you check if, after updating network-manager, the problem is gone?
