Also having this problem. Ubuntu 8.04, FIrefox 3. Using an EVDO modem over ppp. Only one login session.
I am about to try Henry's fix (blocking Firefox from performing the query) but I wanted to post first before I have to close all my browser windows.
This is absolutely a bug in Firefox, regardless of whether there is a bug in Network Manager. Firefox should be reality-based when it comes to making this decision: it should look at the actual routing tables and what they are doing, not asking some high-level app.
It's annoying to see this bug still not set to status Confirmed when it is so obviously broken, and so many people are experiencing it. I understand why earlier posters to this thread would be angry with the response.
