After about a day or two of leaving Firefox on (This is due to me saving tabs), Firefox negates me from refreshing, going to a website, opening a link, middle-mouse buttoning a line to open in a new tab. It just won't connect, it's like it's running in offline mode. This sucks because The only way i personally figured out how to solve this problem is by restarting my computer. I wanted to know if there is a fix that can prevent this from going into this sort of "Offline mode," in which it prevents me from connecting to the internet. As i right this, about 15 min(s) prior, Firefox did the same thing causing for me to restart my computer.

~Thanks for any help received

P.s. I've forgotten to mention that I have checked the " Work Offline-mode" button to see if it was on. It's not, nor has it ever been"

Doesn't it work to close and restart Firefox?

Are there any Firefox processes left in the Task Manager when you close Firefox?

I haven't properly check the task manager. But, I have closed/restart Firefox and received the same problem.
