Browse to "about:config" and set "network.manage-offline-status" to "false".

IIRC this happens when you use the network service instead of
NetworkManager.  Firefox queries NetworkManager for the offline
status, and thinks you're offline when it's not in use.  Setting that
option prevents Firefox from doing this.
