Another solution might be to write a firefox addon to always disable offline mode at startup. Notice that firefox already does this when you are asked if you would like to upgrade to a new addon revision. It is quite ridiculous that we must resort to fixing this issue via a custom firefox addon. I still want to strangle the person who thought is would be a nice idea to make firefox rely on networkmanager...*rolls eyes*
