Opening the website mentioned in URL field, causes the IPv4 version to open. Only addresses with IPv6 only address are opened using IPv6. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have machine with IPv6 and IPv4. IPv6 must be under different interface
2. Disable proxy etc.
3. Open site with IPv4 and IPv6 address in DNS

Actual Results:  
Web site is opened using IPv4

Expected Results:  
Web site should be opened with IPv6

I have no IPv4 only settings, cache/proxy disabled. Operating system has IPv6 address on Teredo tunnel.

It seems your handy webform did not in fact send the URL field, so two URLs that are failing visibly:

www.kame.net
www.sixxs.net
I cannot find anything wrong in this behavior. Windows prefers IPv4 over Teredo. Use "netsh int ipv6 show pref" to see how address selection is configured on your machine.
