251504 - Conn: display dialup connection on shutdown (like IE?)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 106044

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[(not reading, please use [e-mail] instead)]

mozilla doesn't drop the dialup connection on shutdown (like IE?)

[e-mail] passes on a note from his friend:

"i have been using Firefox on and off. one thing i cannot find is how do i set
the browser to end my internet connection once i close firefox. it automatically
starts the connection (i have not set that up in firefox either).

you know through IE we can set the internet connection to end once all the IE
windows are closed. i like this feature, as it helps to keep the internet usage
bill down.

oh yes another thing, i have set my internet connection to drop after 10 mins of
inactivity. what i find is even if i'm only using firefox to browse, every 10
mins i get the auto-disconnect message.

the behaviour is the same, irrespective of choosing either browser as the
default. i use windows xp."
