IPv6 should fallback to IPv4

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.
