Running f20 and firefox 30.0.

Firefox now starts in "Offline" mode.  This is very annoying to me. I've never found a need to use a browser offline.

I've looked at every preference, about:config setting, and I haven't been able to find a way to start firefox in "Online" mode.

Any helpers?

I've not heard of this complaint in a long time.....

In the past, one would go to about:config and find the entry for "networkmanager" and disable it.

Or actually configure NetworkManager consistently. IOW if NM is running,
you need to check that it is managing the network interface, otherwise
some apps (Evolution being another one) will think the network is down
when it isn't.

Hi POC,

Interesting. Been here a long time I don't recall this at all. Because I haven't any wifi and define all interfaces in network-scripts (and had serious problems with NM messing things up in earlier fedoras) this is the first fedora (20) I've given it a spin.

Set the primary device to NM_CONTROLLED=yes and ifupdown'd the ifc and firefox came up online. Set NM_CONTROLLED=no, ifupdown'd the ifc and it still comes up online now. I think it's more of NM's invisible footprints I mentioned in another post.

In my searches through about:config "toolkit.networkmanager.disable" wasn't on my list of things to look for :)

Thanks for the pointers.  Learn a little bit more every day.
