This flow would make using firefox on the plethora of portable 3g/2.5g/2g/wifi connected devices SO much smoother. Sure you can disable this behavior by telling firefox, through about:config, to ignore NetworkManager, but do you think average Joe Blogs will have any clue how to do this or where to find the instructions to do it? </2_cents>
