Firefox stop working when I disconnect my laptop from the bay

When I disconnect my laptop from the bay it switches automatically from the network cable to WIFI. Firefox is not able to continue navigating, it is needed to close and open it again. If IExp is also openned, it works perfectly. Both navigators are configured in the same way to connect to internet.

Does it help to toggle work offline mode off and on again?

"Firefox > Web Developer > Work Offline" or in the File menu (Alt+F).

Does it help to select another connection setting?

Thanks for the replay. No its does not work. I tried changing the connection settings in different ways, for example with direct conexion to internet, but the same problem. I think that it is a problem in the way that firefox uses the URL to connect to internet, once the internet is disconnected for a few seconds it is not able to reload the conexion.
