Disabling Work Offline in Firefox

I have been facing this issue in my firefox that when I start it, "Work Offline" box is checked by default and I have to manually uncheck to start browsing internet. And, here is the solution to turn it off permanently.

1. type about:config in address field of browser
This gives a warning saying you are changing advanced settings. Once you press the button that "I'll be careful, I promise!"

2. type "networkmanager" in filter tab and toggle the parameter(toolkit.networkmanager.disable) that you get when you type the above value in filter tab.

Reference is:

The reason given in above link is- The network manager is not well informed , especially in dial-up situations and so, lets the firefox assuming that no connection exists and there by forcing "Work Offline". However, in my case, I had some network issues while booting up and so a manual restart of network was needed. However, even after fixing that issue, I was facing the above problem and there is no other option for me other than disabling network manager.

Fixing issues with "JavaHL not available" in eclipse

It is finally a big relief to me as I was able to fix this issue and thought I should note it down this in my blog. It can be useful for others and also for myself in future.

Here is the issue

I installed eclipse ganymede and installed subclipse using http://subclipse.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectProcess?pageID=p4wYuA .
I tried both 1.4 and 1.6. However, I could see javaHL not available in preferences ->team ->svn.
And snvkit was not working for me


Fix to the above problem:
1. I used 1.4 version from subclipse.tigirs.org
2. I installed subversion client from collabnet. which is available at
http://www.collab.net/downloads/subversion/redhat1.5.html
(Note: You can use latest versions, how ever, older version worked for me) . I took the first one specified in the list (file name:CollabNetSubversion-client-1.5.7-1.i386.rpm)
3. Once the above is installed, you need to add /opt/CollabNet_Subversion/lib/ to LD_LIBRARY_PATH and /opt/CollabNet_Subversion/bin/ to PATH
and
4. Restart eclipse
