Please add Offline to network throttling options

[ryant]

I'm developing a progressive web app that supports an offline mode. I'm trying to emulate the app being offline mode, but I can't figure out (easily) how to set the network to "Offline"

This is the current Network Throttling drop down options:

In Chromium browsers, it's just another option in the Network Throttling drop down:

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

Firefox doesn't support progressive web apps so why are you using Firefox for this at all?

Hey Ryant, thank you for the comment. Yes, this would be useful feature and it's been already requested, see this report: Bug 1029203 - Emulate being offline

In the meantime, you can use the main Firefox menu "File -> Work Offline" to switch to the offline mode.

Where in Firefox is "File" menu?

This would be extremely useful.  The other day I was testing the security of an app that had an offline option which would allow you to use the website without internet, and it would be useful being able to make a single tab not use internet, especially if you're trying to look up stuff about what you're doing or listening to something while testing a website which has an offline mode

An important side note: using the "Work offline" menu item is not the same as a super useful throttle option. This put online every Firefox instance!

I tried to use it in an anonymous window and it made me offline also in the main Firefox window (where I was in a Google meet session).

Right click on the (empty) tab area (next to a tab) and pick "Menu Bar" menu action to show the menu.

This feature had been released on Fx120

Yes, the offline mode is now supported and part of the "Throttling" drop down. See the attached screenshot, the offline 'option' is at the bottom of the list.
