This is definitely a bug in Firefox. I agree with many of the other posters here. I should not have to rely on NewtorkManager to use Firefox. In fact, sometimes I completely disable NM and override /etc/network/interfaces. So, marking this as a bug in Firefox appears valid. Please don't mark it invalid. This is something that either needs to be turned off by default, as in Firefox 2, or have the algorithm fixed so that it properly detects that you have a network connection. If I drop to a terminal and ping 4.2.2.2 successfully, but Firefox's new algorithm sucks, that's no my fault. Don't try to start bundling this bug with NetworkManager...
