I'll be on-line, playing a game or surfing the web and the next thing I know I don't have an internet connection. I click on "repair internet connection" and get the feedback, "unable to repair. I click on file and see that there is a check mark by 'work off-line' which I never checked. How can I prevent Firefox browser from automatically switching me over to the off-line mode whenever it feels like it. Very frustrating! Happens more than a few times a week but not every time Firefox is open.

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

Right-click on the about:config page to open the right-click context menu and use "New > Boolean" to create a new Boolean pref.

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