STR:

1. Wifi is disabled.
2. Launch marketplace
3. Do a search

expected behavior:
We inform the user that they are offline

actual behavior:
Search says "No results found , try again later" which is confusing.

Search worked fine after enabling wifi from the Settings app.

We rely on `navigator.onLine` to tell us whether the device is connected or not. Weird that you'd end up being able to do a search : if you are offline, and somehow that check is not working, then the entire Marketplace iframe should fail to load...

From the logs in comment 2:

06-29 15:34:54.813  8975  8975 W Marketplace: [JavaScript Warning: "Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://marketplace.cdn.mozilla.net/api/v2/fireplace/search/?cache=1&dev=firefoxos&lang=en-US&limit=10&pro=7ffffffffffff.51.6&q=notify&region=ar&vary=0. (Reason: CORS request failed)."]
06-29 15:34:54.823  8975  8975 I Marketplace: Content JS LOG: [req] Request failed: GET 0

I doubt it's really a CORS issue, I suspect there was a network issue *after* Marketplace was successfully launched, causing that CORS issue and preventing you to load the search results. Which would make the STR in comment 6 inaccurate.

So the STR would actually be:

1. Open marketplace
2. Lose network connection (both wifi+data fail for any reason)
3. Do a search
4. Notice no results are found.

Marketplace should warn you when we lose the connection (we already detect it at launch time and when we regain focus). That's bug 1177847.
