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.
