[Firefox][How To] Disable "Work Offline" mode in Firefox

Many including myself find it rather annoying when Firefox decides to "Work Offline" without telling you whenever you lose connectivity. This is how to stop it! (Pretty pictures included)

Note: This works for Firefox 3.6 and above.


Steps

In your search bar type about:config and except the warning.
