Leap 15.1. FF 68.1.0esr from the update repo.
Firefox has started behaving rather dumb with regards to the available Internet connection. This is on my laptop, so if I haven't plugged in the ethernet cable, and since I don't have any wifi connection set to connect automatically, I'll open Firefox and most pinned tabs produce server not found errors, as would be expected. But then I connect the wifi and try refreshing the tabs, and it fails to recognize there is now a connection. I have to close and reopen the browser to get it to connect.
Sometimes the behaviour is more weird and esoteric. I'll be watching a YouTube video in one tab with a wifi connection active. The video will continue streaming to the end and I can continue to navigate within that tab, but all the other tabs have given up and won't search for the network. A restart is again required.
I suspect this may be a missing configuration somewhere in my user home directory, because this is following on from the problem I had on this system with a defunct hard drive. I kept the root configuration but replaced the disk that had /home on it, then copied the skeleton to each user home. Though I'm in the process of copying bits and bobs of data over from backups, I'm not copying an entire /home backup and have started a new profile in Firefox. It's possible there's some network configuration in my home directory which was lost and isn't hence informing Firefox correctly of the current network state.
I can't be sure yet if other applications are doing the same because I've not yet really started using any others to any great degree. Firefox had no such problem switching between wired and wireless networks before the hard disk failure.
Network Manager is running and configured via the Plasma nm applet. All the network entries were retained somewhere in root so I didn't need to redo them under the new user home. But is there another missing network config file that ought to be in my home directory?
gumb I experienced a problem like that recently, but a start of a new tab with loading data from any page fixes it. My wlan is also no so stable as before (an usb dongle: ASUSTek Computer, Inc. N10 Nano 802.11n Network Adapter [Realtek RTL8192CU]) however I thought it would be related with my provider and with the fact that maybe the fritzbox I am using has precise dns providers set. It would be nice to know if you changed the settings for dns in about:config Also if you are using a particular DNS provider as some have issues from time to time. You should also make sure to load FF without any extension. I had an issue with an extension for anonymization. I experience since some weeks severe slow downs during page loading and very often after this, a breakage for disconnect of wlan. Did you look at journalctl or dmesg to see if there are wlan problems? I could also be that the firmware of the wlan makes trouble. Which chipset do you use for wlan?
