How do I clear "off line working?" to allow Firefox to browse the net?

Chosen solution

Presumably you're using FF4 (?).

If so, do the following.

  • Right click a blank part of the Tab Bar and then click the top option called "Menu Bar". This will remove the orange Firefox button, but reinstate the text links at the top.
  • Next, click "File", then click "Work Offline" to remove the checkmark. You should now have Internet access.

To reinstate the previous layout, repeat the same steps.
