Firefox starts in offline mode while sandboxed
I'm trying to run Firefox sandboxed for security reasons. Everything works except it always starts in Offline Mode. Do I need to allow access to something in particular to fix this? Below are the contents of my sandbox profile:
- firefox - sandbox profile
- http://codereview.chromium.org/379019/diff/1/2

I have exactly the same problem...
Same problem using Fedora-13
This solved the problem for me.
Right-click on the about:config page to open the right-click context menu and use "New > Boolean" to create a new Boolean pref.
