Yes, apps have to better understand what the online offline state means in network manager to provide a good user experience. As i commented in the firefox upstream bug, the states primary purpose is to allow apps to fast-fail without probing the network. So in the end its ok to have false online indication, while its much more devastating to have false offline indication. NetworkManager has implement a heuristic that follows the "no false offline" indication approach and then it will be fine :). At least for IP driven networks, that should be possible imo. - Alexander -- Offline mode not defeatable in FF3 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/205169 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee (via bug 191889). -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
