Please open Firefox and type into address bar about:config
if is the first time you are using about:config on Firefox, a warning window come in front of you, please confirm the "promise".
Then search ( type the parameter name into the "filter row" field ) for the Firefox config param named:
network.online
double click on the filtered row and set it to true
Quit and restart Firefox
