Issue

I have another kind of problem with Firefox

Description

About a week ago, Firefox started going into "work offline" mode every few minutes. I have to manually re-select my network to get back online. Don't have any idea why this started. And I don't have any wifi issues if Firefox isn't open. Is there an easy fix for someone who is not super techy? Thanks.
