And how do you connect to anything in your lan, if you don't know its address?
Carlos, why is it you seem to be so thick about this? You do not have, as far as I know, a working IPv6 network. You are trying to use link local addresses in a way they weren't intended to be used. Whether it worked in Firefox previously, but now doesn't is irrelevant. If you have a problem with the way Firefox now does things, take it up with them. It is not an issue with link local addresses!
You are missing the point.
This is a theoretical question.
You say I do not need them.
For the record, I agree with James. 100%. I think your issues stem from not having a properly operating ipv6 environment.
To just plug an IPv6 device into the network (not necessarily mine) and it will be autoconfigured, it will get an address. Ok, what address will it get? How do I know that address? How do I connect to that new device without knowing its new IPv6 address?
My solution - for something I need to connect to, I put it in the dhcpv6 config and add dynamic dns updates. In fact, every known device gets a dynamic dns update, visiting devices don't and are given a firewall restricted ipv6 range.
In your case, I would get the LL address and replace 'fe80::' with the prefix you are using (fc00:what:ever:itis).
Ah, well, that's an answer. Thanks. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
