I am using Firefox latest (11), and I've set IIS to serve *.appcache as text/cache-manifest, and I've double checked Firefox DID cache my files by looking into both "about:cache" "C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\.\OfflineCache" (according to MDN), below is my demo.appcache file:
CACHE MANIFEST
../../js/jquery-1.7.1.js
offline.html
NETWORK:
# Chrome respects *
*
# Firefox respects following, refer: http://appcachefacts.info/
http://*
https://*
FALLBACK:
/ offline.html
CACHE:
foo.js
My steps are described below:
<html manifest="demo.appcache">Chrome does everything correctly whereas it cannot be switched to "Offline mode", refer: Broken Offline Support Opera can work offline, but it even does cache correctly, it didn't cache offline.html I specified in "Cache" module which obviously violates the standard.
I am struggling with this issue (step 5) for more than 3 days, any help would be highly appreciated!

I too have been working on this for the past couple days. Reading through your post I was about to post a reply when something hit me.
In Chrome I've been testing this using a Proxy switcher to toggle between my connection and bad proxy information to simulate loss of connection. Like you in Firefox I was using "Work Offline". In my case I was seeing a locally cached version of my "Online" page rather than the Offline fallback I expected.
In Firefox I went to Tools -> Options -> Network -> Settings and changed the Proxy information to see what would happen. It Worked!
So "Work Offline" either is not triggering the Fallback or possibly the local storage at all.
