Hey, here's another problem that I've seen. I installed 10.2 on my mom's 'puter and each time Firefox is started, it starts in "offline" mode. That is damned irritationg to me and somewhat confusing to her.
Mihamina suggested "You should just make the Firefox home page either a blank page or http://localhost/ (if a web server is set up) or file:/// as last choice."
That might work, but since Mom is dialed in and on the net before Firefox is started, she expects it to be in online mode and the home page to be what she wants it to be.
Can someone explain why Firefox stays offline even when a dialup connection is made?
So most probably NetworkManager is activated on the system but not used for the dialup connection. This is a known issue since NetworkManager still thinks the machine is offline. If NetworkManager is not needed (e.g. for WiFi) you should deactivate it, which would fix the problem.
