287889 - Changing profile creates unwanted offline status on dialup

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: Startup & Profiles, defect)

Description

[Garrett Cooper]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050319
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050319

When I change my profile from one to another in Mozilla, what occurs when I exit
Mozilla is that Mozilla assumes that it is automatically offline and does not
attempt to test for network connectivity, even though the PC may be currently
connected to the internet in some way, shape or form (we use dialup though so I
cannot test Cable connectivity, etc).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Change profile.
2. Exit Mozilla.
3. Start Mozilla.

Actual Results:  
Exactly what I detailed.

Expected Results:  
Should have detected that there was a network connection or at least attempted
to create one by dialing like normal.

The only way to solve this bad toggling to offline status is to follow the above
steps, but after I restart Mozilla, uncheck 'work offline' and then exit again.
The next session I restart Mozilla it will dial out perfectly since the
'offline' status no longer exists.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce

copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
