I'm getting confused as between machines, which is which; but
Firefox has come up with another little nasty trick on at least two of
them : when it does launch, it does so in offline mode -- and then
complains because it can't refresh various sites.
Surely there has to be a setting somewhere for whether to launch
in online or offline mode? I haven't seen it, much less changed it on
purpose ...
Is there an option like File->Work Offline checked in the browser?
