Package: iceweasel Version: 3.0.1-1 Severity: normal When network manager is running, but not controlling the active interface, iceweasel goes into offline mode.
The bug is reported upstream already: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=424626 I have set toolkit.networkmanager.disable (bool) to false, but that doesn't appear to work here. IMHO there are more than one valid reasons to not let network manager control all interfaces. For example I want to use guessnet / ifplugd for eth0, partly cause I have not set up a DHCP server on my ASUS WL-500g Premium debian installation at home. Others use UMTS or PPP or some connection that can not be handled by network manager or is not handled in the way the user would like it to. According to comment #41 from Dan Williams [1] and some other comments one should not use Network Manager in that case. I and others disagree. Thus this bug might even be two fold and be filed against network manager as well. I think about filing a bug there two. However I think it is important to have an option in Iceweasel to disable asking Network Manager for online status. Like the above mentioned option that does not appear to work here. That is what this bug report is for. Having to many disable offline status is really annoying. Especially when you had open tabs that you need to reload one by one then.
