Comment 18 for bug 207456

In my case, "work offline" comes up selected whether I'm connected to a network or not. I have to un-check it every time I start Firefox in order to browse the web.

The only thing I found that sort of fixed it was to have Network Manager running first, turn off offline mode there, then start Firefox. But that is only a per-session solution.
