I tried all the suggestions on Mozzila including earlier versions but none work. I even download app to prevent offline mode doesn't work Firefox constantly goes into offline mode grrrrrr $%^@ stupid. I even download Chrome and started using that as I was beginning to get fed up. Prefer Firefox but this is too much.

It constantly puts me into offline mode. Where in about:config can you force Firefox from going into offline mode. I need it to be online mode constantly.I use private browsing no proxy. I know in the support notes that it talks about offline mode on certain conditions and not going to fix

Try toggling network.manage-offline-status to false on about:config if it is set to true.

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_:_FAQs_:_About:config_Entries network.manage-offline-status Boolean (Applies to Firefox 3.5 and above) Determines whether Firefox is allowed to automatically set itself to offline mode in response to certain Web sites, or if the network connection is interrupted. True (implicit default in Firefox 3.5 and 3.6): Allows automatically setting offline mode. False (default in Firefox 4): Prevents automatically setting offline mode.
