https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Online_and_offline_events "Firefox 2 updates this property when switching to/from the browser's Offline mode, and when losing/regaining network connectivity in Windows and Linux." "These two events are fired on the <body> of each page when the browser switches between online and offline mode" https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/NavigatorOnLine/onLine: "In Firefox and Internet Explorer, switching the browser to offline mode sends a false value. Until Firefox 41, all other conditions return a true value; since Firefox 41, on OS X and Windows, the value will follow the actual network connectivity." https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events/online https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/ononline On Linux: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1228309 These events and the property can be really useful when developing apps that support working while offline.
