 Recent Wordpress releases add a "turbo" feature that uses Gears local
 cache to store many static resources locally and increases the overal
 performance of the admin panel.

 Firefox 3.1 will support the same functionality natively, without the need
 for a plugin. WordPress could streamline it's user experience and minimize
 dependencies if it used the new Firefox feature.

 http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Offline_resources_in_Firefox
 discusses how the offline resources work in Firefox. Firefox 3.0 did not
 support enough of the HTML5 offline spec to enable this feature for
 WordPress, but Firefox 3.1 will and the feature will appear in nightly
 versions of Firefox 3.1 soon.

 The css loads properly but some of the js files are still missing. Re-
 checking all to make sure there aren't any other inconsistencies there.

 Perhaps we are trying to use the offline storage in a non-standard way:
 trying to store all js, css and image files but not the html (php output).
