I don't understand, why offline mode should be switched automatically...
What is the benefit of doing this automatically?
I think most people are always online and therefore don't want firefox to go to offline mode silently. Loosing connection is usually unintentionally and shouldn't be punished by reloading all pages etc.
I think it is irrelevant, whether you ARE online (or don't), but instead it is relevant if you WANT to be online (or don't).
I assume, network-manager doesn't tell your intention but only tells the current online state, intentionally or not.
So, as a conclusion, this information doesn't tell the right thing and therefore shouldn't be used.
Feel free to correct my assumptions...
