Please fix this. NetworkManager 0.6 is not able to monitor the state of PPP interfaces and NetworkManager 0.7 has not been released yet.
As a result, Firefox is broken out of the box for everyone that uses PPP (both a standard dialup modem and an ADSL modem directly connected to the computer) and also has NetworkManager installed - which they are likely to have a) because it's installed by default by many distros or because they use it to manage their Ethernet connections. And worse, to fix it you need to unset the "File->work offline" checkbox *every time it starts up*. This is a terrible user experience. If offline detection isn't perfect, there should be a way to enable it.
Setting priority to major and attempting to renominate as blocker since it breaks Firefox for all dialup users and is very irritating to work around.
