easy fix

Ok ... actually it was in my about:config already i just had to toggle it to false... but what worries me is the line immediately above. Here it is

network.dns.ipv4OnlyDomains default string doubleclick.net

What the heck is doubleclick doing in my config?
I hope i am not entirely clueless but as fas as i know doubleclick is a baddie.

Any ideas?

Interesting as I have the same setting as well but again no idea why it is there.

I do not have that setting at all.

I do not know if you have any extensions but if you do perhaps an extension added that string.

The network.dns.ipv4OnlyDomains string basically lists the servers that Firefox can't use IP Version 6 with, because they don't support it. It's not that they're selling you out, it's that they don't want pages to hang (which is what would happen if doubleclick was served ipv6). Furthermore, ipv6 sends even more user information than the other versions, so even if it did support it you might not want it to.

In short, this preference is nothing but a good thing.
