Comment 37 for bug 207456

Would a sensible, quick first step for this problem be to allow users to completely turn off offline mode all the time, in an about:config setting? (I don't see one right now). This would allow people to not have to hit "uncheck work offline" each time they fire up the browser.

It's a blunt hammer, but it may be better than the current behavior for the small subset of users who are getting bit by this bug every day.
