I am doing some testing and it almost seems as if Firefox 3.0.1 that comes with Centos 5.2 is NOT working with IPv6.

Anyone know for sure?

I am getting weird hang behaviours and other just not working things.

more likely a DNS issue
     

Name is coded in /etc/hosts

Of course the fqdn I am using does NOT follow 'standard' TLDs, but it should NOT be masking that, or would that be a 'security' feature?

I have no clue what you are talking about being coded in /etc/hosts...

you can check DNS if it returns ipV6 addresses for hosts or if there are
snags/delays in trying to resolve names from command line

p3490.htt is in my /etc/hosts file as something like:

2701:24:2:1:0:1:2:3   p3490.htt

I can 'ping6 -n p3490.htt'

But putting a url of http//p3490.htt does not work....

DNS can be real slow when IPv6 is enabled.  For instance the following firefox delta would speed up firefox on IPv4 connections.  Maybe you need to turn it on?

You may have already found this, but it helped when I had the same problem.

In firefox type in about:config,
filter for 'ipv6' you should have an entry for network.dns.disableIPv6
right click on it and 'toggle' it to a true value,
restart firefox and see if it helps.
