Comment:

 With TB 8 switching "Work Offline" turns the network on and off with the
 message:
 > Offline mode
 > Firefox is currently in offline mode and can’t browse the Web.
 >  Press "Try Again" to switch to online mode and reload the page.

 Pressing "Try again" seems to work as well.

 Setting DisableNetwork=1 with nyx works and gives in TB:
 > The proxy server is refusing connections
 > Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing
 connections.
 >  Check the proxy settings to make sure that they are correct.
 >  Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is
 working.

 It would be necessary to change this message and tell how to turn the
 network on again.
