I was actually able to replicate this behavior using the Fedora 27 Live ISO. I found out it only happens when setting a custom DNS server. So if I do not set a custom DNS server in the connection settings, Firefox etc. open instantly, even if the network I'm connected to has no Internet access. I don't really mind this, since a workaround exists and usually the network I'm connected to has Internet access. I just wanted to clarify that it's not a problem with my specific setup or some kind of major bug. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
