Using a MacBook Pro, FireFox 10.0.1. Randomly after computer goes to sleep I find it in off-line mode; this is a new phenomenon, after updating Firefox. It's annoying. How can I prevent it?

type in the address bar about:config

then press the button i'll be careful i promise

then type in the bar network.manage-offline-status(or copied from here)

then double click on it to make it FALSE

exit firefox and restart-it.


If network.manage-offline-status does not exist you must create it :

type in the address bar about:config

then press the button i'll be careful i promise

then right-click anywhere in the list of preferences and choose new > boolean

then type in the open window network.manage-offline-status (or copied from here)

then click OK, and in the next window select FALSE and click OK.

exit firefox and restart-it.
