Firefox keeps switching to work offline mode all by itself and therefore drops internet connection. How do I fix this?

The work offline mode keeps getting activated and internet connection is then lost. This happens all by itself and I don't know why or how to fix it.

You can try to create a new Boolean pref with the name network.manage-offline-status and set the value to false.

You can right-click on the about:config page to open the right-click context menu and use "New > Boolean" to create a new Boolean pref.

Name: network.manage-offline-status
Value: false
