After some searching on the web, and trying lots of things, the

fix

that did the trick was simple:

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Error_loading_some_websites#IPv6

Strange though that it worked before, and Firefox suddenly decided

it

could only do IP6 DNS...

After update?

I don't remember exactly, but I don't think so, the last FireFox update was a few weeks ago, if I remember correctly?

And I also had the same kind of symptoms before the reset. Only this was after some time of working with FireFox (sometimes a couple of days). And just restarting FireFox fixed the problem, so I didn't pay to much attention to it, just one of those things... After the reset the problem was there right away.

Than it is some deeper problem. Program that is changing it's behavior like that might be signal of failing hardware, or your ISP DNS server was slow and Firefox considered that IPv6 should be used instead.

After my last system reboot Firefox isn't showing any webpages anymore. All I get is the "Server not found..." page (immediately).

Next time try to search our local source:

We know IPv6 ^_^

If you know what the problem is exactly, finding the solution is a lot easier. ;)

It is not: - some enterprise networks use IPv6, - some public networks already use it, - it is standard that should solve lack of IP addresses and some other problems, so you want to it to be used as much as possible.

Maybe IPv6 should be disabled by default in FireFox!?

There is no need. I don't know exactly what developers did, but I guess it is not default IP protocol now and even when enabled it doesn't slow down browsing as before. My 'network.dns.disableIPv6' is set to 'false', and I have no problems, so good guess would be that something else makes a trouble. ... -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
