Details

When mozilla resolves a host and gets it's IPv6 address and fails to contact the site because of "connection refused", it does not try to get it using IPv4. I don't know if this is a feature, but it's quite anoying though to get conn refused when a site has an IPv6 DNS entry but no IPv6 httpd. From my point of view, if contacting by IPv6 fails it should try by IPv4 if the DNS entry exists. That's the way telnet works on *BSD and Linux.
Duplicate of "socket transport should try all ip addresses returned by DNS service". See also bug 66872. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 86917 ***
