STR:

1. Have working IPv6 connectivity in Windows.
2. Enter ipv6.google.com (an ipv6 only site) in address bar.

Result:
Error page shown immediately "Unable to connect"


STR2: Go to  www.google.com (a dual-stack site)
Result2: Immediately connects through ipv4 (check with netstat, process explorer...)

STR3: Go to http://test-ipv6.com/
Result3: Notice numeric ipv6 connections work.

Also: Go to about:networking then DNS. AAAA lookups seem to work. (There may be better ways to test this)
