Details

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.4+) Gecko/20010919 BuildID: When the hostname resolves to both v4 and v6 adress, the v6 one is used and when it's unreachable, "Connection refused" dialog works. (ie, when my ip6 tunnel is down). Mozilla should probably try all avaible adresses before giving such error. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Visit any host which resolves to both v4 and v6, like www.6bone.net, www.stealth.net,linz.irc.at Actual Results: When v6 connectivity unavaible, Connection refused dialog is displayed Expected Results: Mozilla should try to connect to all avaible adresses, probably v6 one first.
