As pointed out by someone else, and just rediscovered by me, Mozilla
does not work with recent kernels -- almost certainly due to changes
in the IPv6 stack.
Remember that Mozilla uses v4 encapsulated addresses when using the v6
stack. Every connect() results in:
382 mozilla-bin CALL connect(0x1e,0x50025998,0x1c)
382 mozilla-bin RET connect -1 errno 22 Invalid argument
Mozilla then oh-so-helpfully pops up a dialog box that says:
The connection was refused when attempting to contact www.google.com.
which is of course completely bogus.
Could you perhaps look into this?
