something strange happens on one of my test pcs running f14 (updated).

> more: if i remove .mozilla , it starts online, first time. second time etc
it goes offline again. if i go into about:config, there's no browser.offline
key. after i uncheck first time the work offline in file menu, then a
browser.offline key is created which is *false* when work offline is
*unchecked*, and browser is online. something looks messed in firefox, but i
have no idea what :)
please help!
as i've learned here:
http://support.mozilla.com/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?forumId=1&comme...
"from *about:config* set *toolkit.networkmanager.disable* to be true."
now it starts online.
it remains a mistery why this is the first pc where i see this behaviour
even if i installed fedora 14 on other computers and everywhere i had to
enable network and disable NetworkManager to connect to the network and
firefox worked ok.
