Firefox always opens in offline mode. OS is Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

I have a laptop Dell Vostro where Ubuntu 10.04 LTS desktop version is loaded. I am facing this problem since day before y'day.

Okay, I know that. But this is not what I asked for.
The question is: "What does it check to verify the (non-) existance of a internet connection?"

Have a read of the rather complicated article
* [[firefox crashes]]
* and for anyone with firefox crashing before you can key in about:crashes see: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Breakpad#Location_of_crash_reports
I note you have found bp-54df2ba6-de52-405d-9ccc-4dd272110924 have you any other recent crash signatures or crash IDs, the one you provide seems rather uncommon [https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/list?product=Firefox&query_search=signature&query_type=exact&query=karasx2.dll%400x2535&reason_type=contains&date=09%2F24%2F2011%2001%3A44%3A07&range_value=1&range_unit=weeks&hang_type=any&process_type=any&do_query=1&signature=karasx2.dll%400x2535 [karasx2.dll%400x2535]]
Do you still get the problem in [[safe mode]] and with default themes, and all plugins disabled. Note common causes of crashes are malware, and versions of the software IDvault. (do you use IDvault ? - often provided by Comcast)

I just updated to 4.0.1 on my mac and now it says "Firefox is currently in offline mode and can't browse the web". It is not my internet since I am using Safari just fine. Any suggestions? I sure wish I wouldn't have updated!

Document always opens in Preview mode, prefer Normal mode

Documents always open in Preview mode, while I'd prefer the Normal mode. I tried setting the mode to Normal and saving the document, but next time I open it it again opens up in Preview mode. Can I change this somewhere so it defaults to Normal mode?
Thanks for your help or suggestions.

The preview that was used when the file was saved is saved with the
file. If you save it in preview mode, it will open that way.
If that's not the case, you may have a slight corruption in your
preferences. Try trashing them if this bothers you.

How do I get Elements 11 to always open in Expert mode?

Does anyone know how I can make Elements 11 always open in Expert mode?
I'd like Elements 11 to do this whenever I either double-click a photo file to start the program or click the Elements 11 icon to start.
Thanks for your help and time.
Jerry

Barbara B.,
I have more information that will help explain my problem:
When I double-click on a supported photo file (.jpg for example) in Windows Explorer, Elements 11 opens in the Expert Window (the mode is always use) but the photo does not appear.
I double-click the photo file again in Explorer and Elements 11 changes to the Quick window and the photo opens.
In previous Elements versions I could double-click a photo file and Elements would open and the photo would appear in the open Elements window. With Elements 11 the photo never appears until I double-click the file again. And when the photo opens it does so in the Quick screen.
How can I make Elements 11 open after double-clicking a file with the selected photo visible and be in Expert mode?
Thanks for your help and time.

My ipad has suddenly began to have rotation problems, sometimes it will rotate but always opens in landscape mode, sometimes it refuses to rotate?

My ipad has started having difficulty rotating. It always opens in landscape mode, no matter which way the book is turned and sometimes if you open an app it will rotate but other times you can't make it rotate.

Try reset all settings

Although based in Bulgaria my language is English (UK), but now Firefox always opens in Bulgarian, how can I change this?

Although based in Bulgaria my language is English (UK). Up until recently Firefox always opened in English and as far as I am aware I haven't changed anything, but now Firefox always opens in Bulgarian, how can I change this?

Despite setting a Home Page Firefox always opens in the last page viewed. How do I solve this?

I have followed the instructions for setting a Home Page. Firefox always opens in the last page I viewed. Clicking on the Home icon does take me to my Home Page once Firefox has opened.

You can check if you have an user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that sets the browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once pref to true.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once
Your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there.
you can check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.

Why Firefox always opens with last session tabs?

When I open firefox always opens with last session tabs? How can I fix it?

You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that sets the browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once pref to true.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there.
You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: "Open with"; do not double-click).
The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
You can delete the user.js file if you didn't create this file yourself.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Windows hides some file extensions by default.
Among them are .html and .ini and .js and .txt, so you may only see file name without file extension.
You can see the real file type (file extension) in the properties of the file via the right-click context menu in Windows Explorer.

Firefox opens in offline mode and doesn't save my settings

When I start the internet, it always starts in "work offline" mode. So I have to un-check the work offline button and refresh the pages. Also, my customized toolbar settings are not saved. I add the tab group button and it isn't on the toolbar when I open firefox.

Try to create a new Boolean pref with the name network.manage-offline-status and set the value to false.
Right-click on the about:config page to open the right-click context menu and use "New > Boolean" to create a new Boolean pref.
Name: network.manage-offline-status
Value: false
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

How can I prevent Firefox from starting in Offline Mode when there is no internet connection?

Hey!
When I fire up my laptop from standby it takes some time before the wireless internet connection is established. If i am too quick and open Firefox before that happens, it automatically goes into Offline Mode, which I hate a lot.
Is there any way to disable this behaviour?
I have already tried everything mentioned here: [http://superuser.com/questions/208146/can-firefoxs-offline-mode-be-disabled http://superuser.com/questions/208146/can-firefoxs-offline-mode-be-disabled]
Also I found this addon, which unfortunately does not work with Firefox 11: [https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/disable-automatic-offline-mana/ https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/disable-automatic-offline-mana/]

That shouldn't happen in Firefox 4 or later. You should just get a page not found or server not found message.
Can you check the following setting?
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''offline''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Look for '''network.manage-offline-status''' and reset it to False (either double-click or right-click/reset).
Does that work?

Firefox always opens maximized and does not save window size unless I delete localstore.rdf

I use Linux MInt 13 with Cinnamon 1.6.7. Since the updates to Firefox 17 came through the update manager, the program always opens maximized, no matter what state I close it in. When I de-maximize, it comes up in a different size and position than the last time.
Some googling turned up that this can be due to a corrupted localstore.rdf file, and indeed the window sizing works properly if I delete that before starting.
It also works propoerly in safe mode, but even a fresh install without any add-ons, search engines or anything opens in window mode at first startup, but will always open in the same place as the first time after I move and close it, and if I resize it, it goes back to always opening maximized.
Any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Hello norumaru, did you try to [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems#w_turn-off-hardware-acceleration Turn off hardware acceleration] ? (in safe mode hardware acceleration is disable).
thank you

How do I stop Firefox from opening in Safe Mode?

Every time I open Firefox it opens in Safemode. I have checked the properties and it doesn't say any thing about Safe mode being on. Also, I have disabled all my addons restarted my computer, tried opening from a different location, and reinstalled Firefox.

Make sure that you do not use a shortcut key that uses only the Shift key or have the Shift key pressed if you click the desktop shortcut.
If you do have a shortcut key that only uses Shift then change that to use Shift + Ctrl or Shift + Alt.

Firefox always opens with a search box rather than my homepage.

I have dragged the icon over to the homepage icon, and responded "yes" that I want to set it as my homepage. It always opens with a search box instead. http://www.searchqu.com/406 is the URL. How can I get it to use my homepage?

i ran into a simuler problem using firefox 4 with win 7. browser would not display web address and when you open the browser it would display a blank page. also back, forward, and refresh button's where grayed out and could not click hem.
after checking plugins i was able to get it working with disableing java deployment toolkit.

Firefox always opens with a different URL than listed in the settings option, why?

The homepage in the settings option of the firefox browser has been set to www.google.com.
However it always opens with https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl.
Why?
Please advise!
Thanks.

Hello,
Don't worry, this should not cause any problems. Side to side, the sites look the same, just in the link it goes to it activates SSL security (That's good)
