Comment 23 for bug 207456

The problem has largely gone away for me. Firefox still gets into offline mode, but only when I start it with the network down, which makes more sense.

I've changed a lot of stuff, and I don't know what change improved the situation. Here is what I can think of:

I'm now running Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron; when I reported before, I was at 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. I also updated Firefox from 3.0 to 3.0.1.

Besides that, I did a sort of purge of files from my ~/.mozilla/firefox/ directory, that seemed no longer to be used.

But... Windows users are reporting a similar problem with FF 3.0.1... the common denominator would be the .mozilla/firefox directory...
