Comment(by cjb):

 > IMHO, there are really two bugs here. One is that NM is declaring
 offline mode in response to suspend. Its state machine needs to be fixed.

 This is not correct.  NM is declaring, on its *internal* dbus path, that a
 network interface changed state.  Firefox is choosing to listen to this.
 Other things choose to listen to this too -- our salut/gabble connection
 logic triggers on this same signal, and starts a connection attempt to one
 of the two.  (We want to trigger a search for a gabble server on wake from
 sleep.)  Hence, removing the signal will break telepathy.

 > The other is that Firefox doesn't allow access to local servers in
 offline mode.

 Yes.
