Sorry, I forget, what appears in Firefox/Seamonkey when starting up offline? 
What is supposed to happen?

Because of my findings (below), I wonder if this content truly is obsolete.

Currently, in Fedora 9:

* Seamonkey defaults to /usr/share/doc/HTML/index.html
* Firefox loads "start.fp.o" from cache, in my instance the CSS is missing
** The CSS is pulled via HTTP
** If switched to work offline, it throws an "Address not found" error
*** This is actually an ugly experience, v. throwing up the index*.html files
** When switched back to work online, it shows the start.fp.o (without CSS)
** What does it do when the cache is empty?  Haven't been able to test that.
*** E.g., Ctrl+Shift+r(eload) continues to pull up the CSS-less start page

So, for every instance where there is not an Internet connection, the
experience is ugly for the user.  I understand that the original intention of
start.fp.o was that it would take care of the 80% situation, most people would
be connected, etc.  But this is an ugly 20% to leave behind.
