Bug Description
Firefox 3 lacks a way to defeat automatic selection of off line mode.
Firefox 3 has added feature of off line operations that should be set OFF until user selects automatic online/off line switching.
Users should not have to find why FF has no connection to network nor should users have to set FF online at each session start or repeatedly switch online during session.
Reasons for FF selecting off line mode are irrelevant to this bug.
To post a comment you must log in.
Firefox should always use online mode if a connection is found that is default and i highly doubt Upstream will be changing that since the default purpose of a web browser is to browse the web. Please explain your request in more detail and steps to reproduce what you wish it to do and what it does now.
Marking as a Wishlist bug.
