Comment 205 for bug 191889

I have an additional fringe case on this one where I'm running a local web server for field order entry on a few hundred laptop computers. I NEED network manager because it is easy for my users to understand. But I have the problem that they are not always online and connect to localhost to place their orders. Firefox is always starting out in offline mode and I would like to be able to force it to ignore network manager so that they can still use the system. When they update Firefox to 3.0 I'm going to have a lot of confused people and phone calls to deal with.
