That used to be the case, but shouldn't be any more.  See mozilla bug
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D86917  It should now try

In the past, not even a good 6bone connection would help you much, since
many web sites with AAAA records do not have reliable AAAA connections.
I had www.netbsd.org in /etc/hosts for a while, since I could never
access it via IPv6.
