Linux build 2000070508. Steps to reproduce: Start Mozilla without a network. Click on File|Offline Actual result: app freezes completely (in fact it freezes my entire gui !) Expected result: Mozilla goes into offline mode and retrieves the homepage from the cache.

I am unable to reproduce this with 072808 mozilla m18 build. Reporter can you try this again with a current build.
Yes I can still reproduce it with the 2000073009 build. Still freezes, still hangs Enlightenment and X.

Unable to verify this on my Red Hat 6.2 / Gnome / Enlightenment using the latest CVS source. This might be a clue: If you select File / Work Offline quickly before Mozilla gives up looking for the page, the throbber runs forever... I think selecting "Work Offline" should cause any network connection attempts to immediately stop.
I also cannot reproduce on 2000080104 M17 on Linux. Using Red Hat 6.2, latest Gnome and sawfish from Helix. I am not able to click offline quickly enough to see the behavior reported by Scott.
Hmmm, interesting. Why do you need to click quickly ? On my box, with the network down, Mozilla spins for ages (maybe indefinately) trying to find my homepage.

Starting mozilla (2000092008) without a network causes mozilla to hang for at least several minutes on my box (I haven't actually checked to see if it recovers). After plugging the network back in (physically in this case), it recovers almost straight away. Presumably it is blocking on DNS and/or loading the home page. Note - I don't have to click 'offline' for this to happen, it freezes once it has loaded. This seems like a dup, I've just got to find it...
ah ha... I have a dup for you! :) Even though its not the same description, the effect is very similar and so I am marking this as dup. Gordon if you disagree reopen and take it over. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 49990 ***

This looks like it is working now on Linux though. There are still I couple of problems I see with offline mode, but they should probably be reported as separate bugs.

Sure. Linux build 2001052308. Shut down network (I use 'ifconfig eth0 down'). Start mozilla. Click on file|offline (or the little 'offline' icon at the bottom). Results: Mozilla does not freeze and it is possible to browse *cached* pages (e.g. by selecting from bookmarks). Note: the other problems I was seeing - as soon as you click on an unvisited link, mozilla stops browsing. The menus etc, still work, but you can no longer browse even cached pages. Also, starting up the network, clicking on 'online' I would expect Mozilla to go into online mode, but it does not seem to work. It doesn't even try the network, just sits there spinning away... As I said, these are probably separate bugs (maybe even dupes).

Looks like one of those other problems has just been fixed - bug 82468 :-) I'll keep an eye out for the other issue, if I don't find a bug for it, I'll report it spearately. If nobody objects, I am closing this as worksforme. Hopefully somebody else can verify it.

VERIFIED: Mozilla 0.9 Linux I'm changing the summary to reflect a new set of bugs I'm trying to mark so they are searchabe: (Conn=Connectivity). I've also changed your summary so that it deals just with the hang, and just w/ the interface being off. I'm working on writing a test document that deals with these problems in a systematic fashion: http://frame.packetgram.com/pktg/mozilla/nettest.html -verifyme In this build, I still see the problem described in bug 82468, but it's fixed after this build, so I'll discuss that there. If you have additional problems, keep filing them as new bugs.
