Hi,

I don't use network manager at all, disabled it and I have a custom script edit the /etc/network/interfaces when needed and have it restart networking.

This is a conscious choice because of many different networks I connect to which don't support dhcp and I have all settings for these networks pre-configured in this little script.

So I think it's very strange and just wrong for Firefox to assume everyone uses network manager. Please Firefox developpers, just add an option somewhere to force Firefox in online mode every time it starts. Offline mode is completely useless to me and this is so annoying im really tempted to switch browsers or downgrade to old Firefox.

Im running Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 with all updates and FF 3.0 beta 5

Thanks!
