How is the local demo accessed then? On a local webserver or as local files? If it's a webserver which IP address is used then?

http://localhost

So, the computer can be off-line in terms of the internet, but Firefox should not.

I have set localhost as the home page, so when you open FIrefox the first time, it says that it cannot find the page as you are offline. Pretty stupid huh? The web server runs locally, you only need the loopback interface, no other interfaces.

When you start firefox again, it has cached the initial page, so it displays, but the first thing you click on the page results in a "Cannot find page - please go online"

So, I would like Firefox to start in online mode, no matter if the machine is connected to a network or not.

OK, I admit that is strange and shouldn't happen. Known local addresses shouldn't go through this offline mode. Would you mind open a bug in bugzilla about it (and CC me).
