Default Firefox version 2 and 3 goes into OFFLINE MODE

Running Win98se and I am stuck with using Firefox 2.x or 3.x. (with
Kernel EX). Although Kernel EX says I can use (I think), up to version
6, that has never worked well. I just stick with ver 3.x.

This has driven me nuts for years. I never have understood why Firefox
goes into OFFLINE MODE about every 3rd time I use it. This appears to
have been a bug in the early versions of FF, and a very annoying bug.
Has anyone ever figured out how to stop this from happening? I can go
into about:CONFIG, but what can I change? If I can make it NEVER go into
offline mode, that would be fine. I have never used the offline mode
anyhow.

Thanks in advance.

Can't help you, other than to say that F2 on my '98SElite machine has
hardly ever - I think never - gone into offline mode.
