FF28.0 (de): Though menu option "Offline" is checked, Firefox still waits for responses from online sites

I have own webpages and modify them locally on my notebook.

After having made changes, *before* uploading them to my webhost company, I use to have a look on them "locally".

To manage this, I check menu option : Datei -> Offline arbeiten (German version, in "en" probably File-> Offline)

This worked pretty fine for years, up to and including FF 27.0.1.

Now with FF28.0, though "Offline" is checked/activated, FireFox still waits for online answers and does NOT display my changed sites (residing on the hard disk).

What happened? Must I now use IE to test my website changes locally?

Using Work Offline would only work for web pages that you have visited and that are in the disk cache.
You can't use this to display web pages that are modified locally for testing.
To do that properly you would have to access them via a local server that is running on your computer.

Update: This problem existed on my machine up to V29.0.

With the new V29.0.1, this problem seems to be fixed. At least on my machine.
