Found on iPhone 6, iOS 10.2.1, Firefox 7.0(1), buddybuild #1524

While I think this happens because of bug 1281799 (offline page is an internal url), I expect to be able to set the actual url as a home page (bbc.com) even without an internet connection.

You can manually add the URL as the homepage by adding the URL to Settings -> Homepage -> Enter a webpage. I believe that enabling the button will cause issues that were previously fixed in bug 1281799.
