   It's 2023 and Firefox still queries IPv6 on an IPv4-only connection.

     @thatbrickster Firefox should be deferring to system for DNS anyway, if it weren't for one specific system.

     @Zerglingman Disabling Firefox's DNS resolver breaks it. I imagine this is deliberate so they're working with the same quirks cross-platform.

     @lanodan Firefox has its own DNS resolver. Why would it be getaddrinfo?

     @thatbrickster Yeah getaddrinfo is braindead.

     @lanodan Is it though? Using DNS-over-HTTPS in Firefox doesn't expose the bug. I have to tell Firefox specifically not to bother with IPv6.

     @lanodan Just twigged my bridge router has IPv6 enabled while my main router doesn't. Gonna disable IPv6 address on the bridge and see if that fixes it.

     @thatbrickster Outside of DoH it would be pretty surprising if they wouldn't use getaddrinfo.
