Sometimes I turn off my internet router intentionally & Firefox puts up an alert window about it being off. How do I disable this alert window?

When I'm out or go to bed at night, I turn off my wireless internet router. Sometimes I turn it off when I'm just going to be doing something that doesn't require me to be online. Whenever I do this, Firefox keeps putting up an alert window every two minutes telling me I have no connection (which I know). How do I disable this alert window so it doesn't keep showing up in the middle of a game or a document I'm doing?

Chosen solution

Its an addon, not firefox.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to Troubleshoot the issue and to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

You could try using "Work Offline" when you are offline.

Why not just close Firefox?
