Did you try File > Work Offline?

Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.

Create a new Boolean pref with the name network.manage-offline-status and set the value to false.

Right-click on the about:config page to open the right-click context menu and use "New > Boolean" to create a new Boolean pref. 

Name: network.manage-offline-status
Value: false

To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.
