Great! That was so annoying! I actually want to permanently disable the ability to go into offline mode at all, so this is a step in the right direction. Offline mode is about as useful to me as a bicycle is to a fish!
Thanks!

have you tried going to about:config and setting toolkit.networkmanager.disable to true?

I’d love to find a solution for Windows. So far, the “obsolete” solution is the only one that works, since there’s no Network Manager in Windows. I suppose I should just switch to Linux, but I don’t feel like it.

SHAZZAM! Searched all over for the answer to this little conundrum ever since I started using Firefox directly from the websiteinstead of with my distro. I find it easier to set up flashplayer, regardless of the distro. I wanted to write it up as a tip/turotrial, but I couldn’t do it without solving this annoying little problem. Thanksthanks!

Thank you very much for the /etc/dbus-1/system.d/NetworkManager.conf solution – the problem with the others is that they don’t also fix Pidgin (and any other potential apps) when I’m on dial-up/PAN/etc., while still letting me use NetworkManager for wifi connections.

Stop NetworkManager notifying all application is too overkill. The much appropiate way is to set toolkit.networkmanager.disable option to true. See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Toolkit.networkmanager.disable for the option’s explaination. I know this option from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=800179&page=4, post number 34.

Eggyknap, you are right – I didn’t bother checking the “forum knowledge” for exactness. This is now corrected.

Did you find some elegant/simple solution to the problem?

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.offline-apps.notify describes the use of the browser.offline-apps.notify setting. It has nothing to do with NetworkManager and detecting offline status. Which probably explains why adjusting it did nothing to fix the offline mode startup I had

Rick,

I had to remove the text of your comment, as it is offensive, and shows your inability to read all the text.

The simplest suggested solution was to disable this feature in FF3, other options are presented for convenience. The feature itself is normal, it’s just that not all software works good together from the start. If you don’t like it – don’t use, you still have the choice.

And please avoid using offensive words.
