 When the network is disconnected, the http://localhost url is not found in
 firefox. In particular http://localhost:5000 doesn't find the mapfish
 application.

 To reproduce the problem:
 * Turn networking off in a VM (usually bottom right icon on display), or
 disconnect ethernet cable if running from an iso image, and turn off
 wireless on the computer.

 * type http://localhost:5000 into a firefox browser. The mapfish
 application should come up when this problem is fixed.

 * This is a known bug in firefox 3.

 ===
 Manual fix:
 * Type about:config as the URL into firefox. Select "I'll be careful"
 * You should see a list of config options
 * Select "browser.offline-apps.notify" to set it to false.
