Firefox, dbus and NetworkManager OH MY

[Steven W. Orr]

Now that I'm running F10, I notice that every time I start firefox, it 
comes up in offline mode. I can only browse by going to online mode. Very 
annoying. I googled around and found that those wacky guys over in ubuntu 
country had figgered it out. Here's the deal: Change every instance in

/etc/dbus-1/system.d/NetworkManager.conf

 	of

   <allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>
 	to
   <deny send_interface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>

and then do a service NetworkManager restart and your new firefox will 
come up online.

Also, I am running my network over a DHCP connection to my cablemodem 
provider, so it's not really clear to me that NetworkManager should even 
be doing *anything*.

I want to be a good Netizen and report this to bugzilla. My question is 
this: Is this a firefox, a NetworkManager or a dbus bug?
