This pref is currently empty by default and is only used for xpcshell tests on windows not to resolve "localhost" with ipv6.
Removing it does not seem to break anything (maybe that's not necessary anymore after bug 1673364 or maybe this is just an obsolete workaround): https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=b23ff519ac9de21557f31d6216ec5532b0228507
It is necessary to make the test form bug 1673315 pass.

This preference was introduced in bug 68796 to allow users to disable
IPv6 resolution on a per-domain basis. After bug 377395, this preference
is empty by default. It is currently only used when running Windows
XPCShell tests in order to disable IPv6 resolution for "localhost".
However, this does not seem to be needed anymore and actually breaks the
expectation that "localhost" resolves to IPv4 and IPv6 loopback
addresses (see bugs 1673315, 1673364, 1220810).
