The computer in use is running an apache http server. It is not always connected to a network. The firefox home page is set to the localhost http server. When not connected to a network through either ethernet or wifi, starting firefox 3.0 results in a failure to connect to the local server. Manually changing to online mode rectifies the problem. This bug is specific to firefox 3, and did not occur in previous versions.

Seconded. Since Novell is shipping autodetection of the network status there are some reports that local webapplications are not accessible.
This is nothing new.
Bug 87717 is about the same problem.
