Just double check, you did go to: File and UNCHECK the Offline Mode, right?
yes, unchecked, get online, the next time firefox opens it in the work offiline mode again
I believe Firefox automatically goes into the Work Offline mode when it detects that you don't have a working internet connection. It might be a problem with your computer's internet settings.
thank you - that does make sense except i have another computer that connects to the internet in the same way but it doesnt happen on that one. i didnt change anything - it just started a couple of weeks ago after i updated firefox to 11.0. cant find any settings in firefox to alter either - thanks for the help
You might try going into Preferences/Settings of Firefox, then clicking on the Advanced tab, then Network, then clicking "Settings" under the connection header. Ensure that it says use the system settings. If that doesn't work, try the steps in Basic Troubleshooting. Sorry; I should have had you do that first.
