The bug title should be changed 'cause it's not related to Firefox.
I've seen that the bug is still in "incomplete" status, what kind of info the developers needs?
Clearly the problem is that NetworkManager doesn't take care of connected interfaces.
If you have a "wired" card (ethernet) you should disable the "roaming mode" for it and enable static IP or DHCP.
After this NM think that the card is connected and stays online.
Otherwise if you keep wired connection in roaming mode you can manage other interfaces (ppp0 in my case) but even if connected NM stays in offline mode due to the fact that the wired one is offline.

@jarda: Your "trick" only works in KDE and not for all.
