If I understand well, and since firefox 3 gave me trouble with this, I reckon
that the fix should go in firefox 3:
When using the glibc resolver for a name resolution, firefox has to parse all
the entries returned and look explicitely for the entries with the address
family it wants to use (and being careful of IPv6 mapped IPv4 addresses!).
