Hello,

A colleague of mine has recently found out that the popular Firefox web
browser fails on https-URLs over IPv6, but only on Windows (Linux works
fine). The only way to get https sites working is to disable IPv6 in the
browser - not very useful for fostering IPv6 deployment. The full bug
report is here:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=513659

I think this is a major issues - however, i do understand that the focus
of the Mozilla developers is not necessarily on IPv6 yet. However, feel
free to vote for the bug if you think that it deserves more attention ;)

Thanks,

Alex
