You are quite correct on all points.  Even trying to ignore the interfaces that
VMWare adds would likely leave a browser running inside a VM in an eternally
"offline" state.  However, somehow FireFox does not seem to have this exact
issue with VMWare being installed.

I did a little bit of digging around and it looks like setting the target
address to 0.0.0.0 is a good indication that an interface is available.  I
haven't played around with this yet so I don't know what it would trade off but
figured I'd throw it out there for consideration (if it hasn't been already).
