Firefox offline mode vs. NetworkManager (Ubuntu 10.04)
Sometimes I need to set manual network configuration on my Ubuntu driven laptop. For this cases I ignore the network configuration of the NetworkManager. But I don’t want to disable the network manager at all. So I wait for the NetworkManager to finish it’s tasks for setting the IP configuration manually afterwards.
One annoying thing in this case is that the NetworkManager puts the Firefox in offline mode. I searched my system to turn off this functionality in NetworkManager. But since I did not found the configuration option I searched the Firefox configuration. And I found an option to turn off the NetworkManager influence to the online/offline state of Firefox.
To disable that behavior enter the configuration of Firefox browsing to about:config. Then search for the option
toolkit.networkmanager.disable
in using the filter field and set the value to true.
After restarting Firefox the option should be used and the NetworkManager will never put the Firefox in offline mode again.
