I'm trying to run Firefox sandboxed for security reasons. Everything works except it always starts in Offline Mode. Do I need to allow access to something in particular to fix this? Below are the contents of my sandbox profile:

This solved the problem for me.

Right-click on the about:config page to open the right-click context menu and use "New > Boolean" to create a new Boolean pref.
