Since the recent upgrade, when I open Firefox, it'll load, but when I try to do anything, I get the offline msg and told to click "try again." I do, and then things are fine, but I don't like having to take this extra step.

Looked under File on the menu; Work offline is not checked.

Went to the about:config page; set value of network.manage-offline-status to false.

Set browser.offline value to false.

Set browser.offline-apps.notify to false.

Opened Terminal and typed /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -p in the window that opened. Work offline was not checked.

Still get the same result.
