This is an issue with the way mozilla handle ipv6/ipv4 connections, and
the way the NetBSD kernel works with ipv6 now. I think there is a sysctl
to restore the old behavior (net.inet6.ip6.v6only ?), but you need a new
sysctl binary to change it.

mozilla has been fixed in pkgsrc, so if you recompile it'll work with the
default sysctl settings.
