Details

To reproduce: 1. Open (at least) two browser windows with some page. 2. Click on the online/offline icon in the status bar to go offline - or - 2. Select File / Work offline -> the icon is disconnected, and the file menu says "Work online" 3. Go to the other window -> the icon is in online mode there, as well as the file menu, which says "Work offline. 4. press Reload or click on some link in the latter window. -> nothing happens, indicating that you are offline despite what the icon and the file menu says. 5. Click on the icon in the latter window. -> It doesn't change, because you are really going online again - now the icon in the first window is wrong. 6. Click on it again -> it goes to offline mode now, now both icons are correct again. (Same applies for file menus.) Expected: Either 1. when going offline or online, all icons and file menus in all windows change at once, reflecting the current state, or 2. each window maintains its own online/offline state and step 4 would result in reloading the current page or loading the new one. Solution one might be related to bug 44208, because the other windows need to get some kind of nitification, although that bug seems to apply only to mail and news, not to browsing, and is about dropping network connections. But I would definitely prefer solution two! It would be nice if I could stop pages which reload themselves every few minutes from doing that, but still keep browsing in other windows. Should I file a different bug (RfE) for that?
Solution 1: This is duplicate of bug 44579. Solution 2: Please file a seperate bug for this (as these are two completely different solutions). BTW, please have a look at the bug reporting guidelines and consider using the Bugzilla Helper for entering bugs. Thanks for testing Mozilla!
