I have the same problem.  It is STUPID!  There is no reason to not have options for this.  Obviously I want to be able to automatically connect when I'm viewing something that is online, but there is no good reason for Firefox to constantly annoy you trying to reconnect when you aren't even looking at online content, or are looking at content that has already been downloaded into the cache!

I'd say this is fixed by bug 454381.
