Firefox 3 work offline work around on Ubuntu

with one comment

Found a work around that prevents Firefox 3 from enabling work offline when you are using a USB modem or in my case an iBurst pcmcia modem.

The fix originally posted here requires you to open the Network Manager configuration file.

$ gksudo gedit /etc/dbus-1/system.d/NetworkManager.conf

Then replace <allow send_interface=”org.freedesktop.NetworkManager”/> with <deny send_interface=”org.freedesktop.NetworkManager”/>.

After saving the changes, restart your machine.

  1. What about ‘Toolkit.networkmanager.disable’ set to true? This will also do the trick, much faster and easier :) (about:config) in FF.
