I'm not aware of other bug, but some more analysis revealed that
firefox is tightly coupled with networkManager.

If the connection is established through networkManager then firefox works fine. If same connection is established directly,
for example

set connection using ifconfig or establish connection using wvdial. Connection made through these tools are out of NetworkManager and connection status through network manager is offline. Such cases, firefox fails to connect.

Other tools, such as pidgin, or other browser(Chrome) works fine as they are not tightly coupled with networkManager.
