I confirm that the problem persists. I am using wvdial and firefox always starts offline even when I am connected. Even if this is a bug in NetworkManager, it is also a bug in Firefox and I can't see how you can deny it - why should Firefox depend on nm to run?
I also want to ask the following question: Suppose we didn't have this problem and firefox could see when we are online. Suppose we started firefox while being offline but then connected to the network. Would firefox automatically switch to `online' mode? If not, this is very inconvenient because many times you may happen to open firefox forgetting that you're not connected, and connect afterwards. Why would you have to manually tell firefox to go online then? I think there should be an option that firefox always starts online.
