Details

IPv6 addresses in URLs are usually entered like this: http://[fe80::203:47ff:fe6e:55b3] however mozilla does not understand that format. I don't knwo if mozilla can handle IPv6 IPs at all but the [ ] notation should be supported.
according to bug 139967 and bug 27930, it should be supported. I remember I tried this a while ago and it worked, didn't try then since 0.9.8.
sorry it works just fine. It was my mistake, I choose a link-local address which since 2.4 kernels always needs to be used with an interface name - so mozilla could not find the fe80:: address :-|
