No, my addon works in firefox 3.0 for sure :-). I have tested it and additionally others on this thread have said it works as well. It does not merely modify the check mark! It sets various internal firefox variable states to disable the offline mode. If it hasn't worked for you, then I am unsure why, but this is exactly the reason I said long ago that depending on networkmanager for internet connectivity is ridiculous. This bug does not only affect firefox, but the only fix in the pipeline is for fiefox 3.0.1. Other apps will still be affected even after that becomes available, so a "real fix" is still missing. I have been harping on about this for months. Since no one cared to fix the real problem, I developed a workaround which does at least work for some people. I don't know why it fails for you, but ensure you are running firefox 3.0 final, not the original shipped 8.04 beta version. I also tested with backports enabled...
