Since I upgraded this system from Fedora-14 to Fedora-16 Firefox and
Thunderbird starts up in off-line mode. I installed NetworkManager to
see if that helped. But they still start up in off-line mode, which is
annoying as the network is there and has been since the computer was
started.
Anyone else had this problem? Or anyone out there that can give me a
pointer on how to get Firefox and Thunderbird started in on-line mode,
just as it was in Fedora-14?
I am using Gnome3 in forced fall-back mode.
I don't have your problem... But there is one thing you can try....
In Firefox go to "about:config" and set network.manage-offline-status to
false
In Thunderbird set toolkit.networkmanger.disable to true
