161438 - mozilla should remember previous online/offline status while in quick launch mode

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 82487

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Backend, defect)

Description

[Rein Smedinga]

I use quick launch and work at home using a dial up connection via ISDN. When
opening mail or browser by right clicking on the quick launch icon Mozilla
always starts in online mode. As a consequence 1.1beta now detects that a dial
up connection should be established and a dialog from W2000 appears asking me to
establish that connection. I need to cancel that dialog and click OK twice on
warnings from Mozilla that my mail server cannot be found and that some website
cannot be found before I can choose to work offline.

Adding the possibility to remember the previous state Mozilla was in when
closing mailer and/or browser and/or introducing an extra dialog window asking
me to work online or offline when no network connection can be found should make
all this must more userfriendly.

Mozilla should just remember the previous state. --> Offline
