IPv6 and Firefox

Friday, May 30th, 2008


In the last few days I made my first tests with IPv6, up to now it’s great to find more and more new features. At the beginning I had a problem to visit IPv6 pages like ipv6.google.com with the firefox. When I used the safari there wasn’t a problem and the ping6 ipv6.google.com was also successful. If you have the same problem you should do the following.

  1. Open firefox
  2. about:config
  3. Search for “network.dns.disableIPv6″
  4. This value is true but you should change it to false
  5. After that you problem is solved and firefox can resolve IPv6 dns requests

Try IPv6!!!
