It would seem sensible for Firefox to see if a connection to a site is possible each and every time one is typed into the URL bar - and come out of automatic offline mode if one is. I use XAMPP to run a local wiki and a wordpress journal, and I often do so with my laptop's WiFi turned off to save energy. Firefox starts in offline mode whenever WiFi is disabled and so refuses to attempt a connection to even local sites even if I type their address into the URL bar several times. Only going onto that page and specifically pressing 'Try Again' brings it out of offline mode and allows it to access local sites.
