Hello.

With version 40 of firefox, I can't start it offline anymore.

Mostly start it this way in a other profile.

[code] runas /user:work "cmd /k start firefox -no-remote -P --offline about:config" /code

Also if I select run offline in the profile manager it wont start offline this way.

(btw: I use a proxyserver with a password, so I see it everytime I start firefox with a popup.)

What I can do?

It is no longer available for Firefox is seems:

It can only be started offline from the Profile Manager. If you add the -Profile Manager you can try -offline however the only way to do this is that checkbox in the profile manager.

Yes. Also the profile manager ignore this option.

Sometimes I really need a firefox who not sync.

Because it's a mobile computer I also often get locked Mail-Accounts, who don't like if you at a other place or ip the next day. (2-3 a month happend already)

Is the future really "ipconfig /release" to stop any Internet activity for a time on my computer?
