The error message says to uncheck the "work offline" menu. Where is the work offline menu?

I have a Imac and Safari works fine.

In Windows, we do: File > UNCHECK the Offline Mode

It's probably the same for Mac.

And you might want to read this thread too:

The work offline option can be found from Firefox button -> Web developer or from the menubar toolbar -> Work offline (Or at least thats what happens in Windows).

Have you any other reason for being offline; router off, firefox not dialing up or whatever. Or is security software or a firewall blocking firefox, or a network connection, or firefox setting etc set wrongly.

Just for the record this is bullshit having to this everytime, sick of this and it only kicked off today. If this is not sorted by tomorrow, Internet Explorer will have to be re-installed.

Maybe you are offline again ! But we do not know much about your problem.

Whatever the problem it is possibly something to do with your computer setup. Using IE may even be good as a comparison to see if you have problems in that as well. You would do better to start your own question rather than post in this one.
