Comment 257 for bug 191889

A firefox fix will be nice (using Kristian's extension now), but what about pidgin and the other apps consulting network manager?

I don't much care HOW this gets fixed, but I hope to see a no-user-action-required fix come through soon, for all apps. I just wasted 2 hours trying to figure out why I had a nice modem connection through gnome-ppp but no internet in my apps before I finally stumbled onto this issue.

Definitely an embarassing bug for an LTS release.
