Automatic detection of offline mode depends on NetworkManager. Hence if NetworkManager service is disabled then firefox always starts in offline mode. This causes inconvenience when NetworkManager is not used for establishing connection such as in case of network service or by manual IP address assignment using ifconfig, etc. on command line. Thus, to disable offline mode detection by Firefox through NetworkManager use:

  1. Open about:config in firefox
  2. Click 'I'll be careful' button
  3. Search for "offline" using search box
  4. Set 'network.manage-offline-status' to false
