I have a web application, which is partially offline supported.
My appcache file looks like this:

NETWORK:
*
FALLBACK:
/ /fallback.html
Everything works on Chrome including being able to close the browser and then open it again with www.domain.com/anything when offline, which will go back to the fallback url. Also, I can access /offline/ and work with the application.
Closing browser and reopening doesn't work with Firefox, IE11 and Edge browsers.
Is this a bug in my setup or supposed to work?
A few things to check:
Make sure you have the extension .appcache
and define it in your html like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" manifest="/offline.appcache">
</html>
According to http://html5doctor.com/go-offline-with-application-cache/ .appcache
is the standard.
Confirm that when you access the appcache file through chrome debugger that it has the mime type text/cache-manifest
- if it doesnt then you need to make sure your web server handles the .appcache
mimetype, in apache it is done with this line in your config file:
AddType text/cache-manifest .appcache
I dont know if the shorthand // works in a manifest file (I was unable to find evidence that its supported), try supplying https:// for the external urls.
