On startup, firefox thinks it is offline.

Make sure Firefox>Work Offline is not checked

Firefox>work offline is not checked. This is even though firefox is saying it is offline. Finally a virus for a Mac?

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

To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Checked about:config and found the network.online line, but could not insert a new line in the list. How do I make the new line? I tried at the end of the list and at the network.online line, but no success at either.

Thanks.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config

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

Ok. new parameter set. I'll check back if the problem disappears.

Thanks for the help!
