Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
When launching Firefox in a terminal using 'firefox -ProfileManager' one is presented with a checkbox to choose "Work offline". I've checked this checkbox and then clicked "Start Firefox" only to discover that Firefox is in on-line and continues to load websites.

i guess your decision gets overriden by the networkmanager integration. Try to turn that off by setting toolkit. networkmanager. disable to true in about:config.
So yes, its probably a problem of the profile wizard; its not really obvious what it should do though. Arguably it could probably be just removed as firefox remembers the last state anyway if you don't use networkmanager maybe verify that.
