User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/78.0.3904.87 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

vi GENERIC-IPV6ONLY

include GENERIC
ident GENERIC-IPV6ONLY
makeoptions MKMODULESENV+="WITHOUT_INET_SUPPORT="
nooptions INET
nodevice gre

#make buildkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC-IPV6ONLY

make installkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC-IPV6ONLY

reboot

Then install Firefox (pkg install firefox)

Open Firefox, goto about:networking

Actual results:

Nothing, blank screens only (and some errors in browser console)

Expected results:

Normal output.

Firefox 70.0.1 build 20191103112327 on FreeBSD amd64 13.0-CURRENT without INET in the kernel.

Indeed it's a duplicate.
We don't have a Cc['@mozilla.org/network/network-link-service;1'] on FreeBSD.
