Back on 2011⁽*⁾ we found that to access my printer web page on firefox, I had to type the link:

But now this doesn't work at all, firefox says "The address isn’t valid". Then what is the correct syntax to reach that address?
No, I can not configure an address such as "fc00::3" as I wish, IPv6 is not configurable at all on the printer.
I also try to reach "fc00::14" and it doesn't work either.
Firefox does not like link-local IPv6 addresses. I came across the same thing. You have to use global or unique local addresses.
The address can not be changed. IPv6 can not be configured at all in that printer. This works, it is my desktop computer: <http://[fc00::14]/> The issue is that the exact address <http:///[FE80::21E:BFF:FE08:4CCB%eth0]> did work back in 2011. Firefox has changed. It does not matter if I remove the extra slash or the "eth0" part. In fact, when I remove the "%eth0" the link is erased and replaced with "about:blank". Back on 2011 we tried several concoctions here in this mail list and we found that the address had to be surrounded by square brackets because the colons are used already to separate the port number, and eth0 had to be added because those addresses are not routed so the system doesn't know what network interface to use. The link that Andrei suggested doesn't give any more light, except that it doesn't work. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
