At work I have a system with static interface addresses. I.e. I have set the IP-numbers outside of NetworkManager, I even did not have NetworkManager installed (can not see any reason for that on a system that is stationary and have static IP_addresses).
Since I upgraded this system from Fedora-14 to Fedora-16 Firefox and Thunderbird starts up in off-line mode. I installed NetworkManager to see if that helped. But they still start up in off-line mode, which is annoying as the network is there and has been since the computer was started.
Anyone else had this problem? Or anyone out there that can give me a pointer on how to get Firefox and Thunderbird started in on-line mode, just as it was in Fedora-14?
I am using Gnome3 in forced fall-back mode.

I don't have your problem... But there is one thing you can try....
In Firefox go to "about:config" and set network.manage-offline-status to false
In Thunderbird set toolkit.networkmanger.disable to true

Nice! That sounds like the correct things to toggle, I'll test it at work tomorrow.
Thanks!

Worked!

Did not work, strangely enough.
I then went into system-config-network to take a look, that's were I once had my interfaces setup, and noticed that 'Controlled by NetworkManager' was un-ticked, so i ticked it, reset the configuration options above, and tried again. This times both thunderbird and firefox started at once when logging in.
So apparently, to make NetworkManager happy with static addresses that has been set up with system-config-network, one needs to tick 'Controlled by NetworkManager'.

Lars E. Pettersson,
Same problem, same solution, it works fine now. Thank you for your explanation. Has someone got to the solution about the number of msg not read inside Tb icon on system tray? Ref: KDE + FF8 +TB8 (3.1.2-1.fc16.x86_64)
Thx,

Other than, perhaps, it to automatically notice when you're plugged and unplugged from the network (or some other loss of networking). I'm not sure if it'll do that with static configurations, but it may be an advantage to you if it does.
