something strange happens on one of my test pcs running f14 (updated). firefox always starts in offline mode. i uncheck work offline and eevrythings fine until i close and start again firefox, when it's in offline mode again. what could be the problem? NetworkManager is stopped because it's not working.

more: if i remove .mozilla , it starts online, first time. second time etc it goes offline again. if i go into about:config, there's no browser.offline key. after i uncheck first time the work offline  in file menu, then a browser.offline key is created which is *false* when work offline is *unchecked*, and browser is online. something looks messed in firefox, but i have no idea what :)

please help!

as i've learned here:

"from about:config set toolkit.networkmanager.disable to be true."

now it starts online.

it remains a mistery why this is the first pc where i see this behaviour even if i installed fedora 14 on other computers and everywhere i had to enable network and disable NetworkManager to connect to the network and firefox worked ok.
