Howto - Firefox Work offline and GTK-dialogs
Here is a quick-fix to two common issues in Firefox 3
Firefox always starts in offline mode
Firefox installed from repos always starts in offline mode. To change this behavior change the network startup mode to if-up rather than NetworkManager using YaST. I have no use for Network Manager as it was a home PC and I don't roam between different networks.
File picker dialogs
Firefox by default uses the GTK dialogs while opening and saving files. To make firefox use the KDE file dialog, type about:config in the address bar and then search for the 'Preference Name', 'ui.allow_platform_file_picker' and then double click on it to change it to 'false' . The change should be instant without requiring a restart.
