I am not sure this is how FALLBACK works.. actually what the spec is saying is that if the resource is not available (aka 404) then load the fallback, otherwise show whats cached. Maybe you can trigger it by putting image.jpg into the NETWORK section, so it has to fetch it.. Had this problem too while working on an offline app.. seems there is no way to force Firefox to load a specific resource when its offline. :(
