I am using Ubuntu 10.04 and a recent fire fox version.  When  I use my Dial-up 
program, Gnome-ppp I still need to uncheck the "work offline" box under the file pull-down menu

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

  DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
  DISTRIB_RELEASE=8.04
  DISTRIB_CODENAME=hardy
  DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu hardy (development branch)"
  Firefox 3.0b3
  When I start firefox from the panel it always start in offline mode. I am connected via wireless to a network that is always on. When I want to browse I need to unclick "work offline"

  Workaround 1: (since ffox 3.0.1) ->
   set toolkit.networkmanager.disable to false in about:config

  Workaround 2: (make NM to be always online) ->
   add a non existing interface to /etc/network/interfaces, like:

  iface eth1000 inet dhcp
