For me, all this patching was just a bad idea from modem era to save couple of bytes.
When I want to disable internet activity, I click on the network connection icon in my OS GUI (any Linux or Windows) and use disconnect option. And I use browser offline mode to avoid ANY browser network activity with web sites, local proxy, DNS, external/local mail server (in SeaMonkey and Thunderbird) etc. I just need to view a cached web page or to stop looped JS refreshes of pages opened. It was browser offline mode, not system one. And now we have "localhost" requests depending on browser DNS cache. Is there any workaround to close all sockets or just to prevent browser from using them? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/367531 Title: firefox should be smarter about offline access To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/367531/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
