I believe that's FireFox trying to determine if it should fire up in the
"work offline" mode. I think it tries that, then tries to see if there
are NICs that are up and running. If NM isn't running and if it doesn't
see any NICs in the "UP, RUNNING" state, you end up in "offline" mode.

I don't know there's a way to get FF to stop logging that. It's more
informational than anything else and I sure wouldn't worry about it.
