konqueror loads pages fine, Firefox doesn't

[marko]

I was trying to help someone on alt.os.linux.redhat with a problem
where on their FC6, konqueuror would load pages fine but
Firefox would time out. My guess is that firefox is trying IPv6
and konqueror is not, my suggestion was to try going into about:config
and setting in Fire fox:

network.dns.disableIPv6 user set boolean false

and toggle that to 'true'

I'm just wondering if that's a crazy idea or not?

Should work ok for the person on firefox.

It is known that sometimes IPV6 enabled causes difficulty accessing some websites.

For a more universal approach for all the users internet related programs I would suggest:

Going to:

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts

Find the device you are using. My case ifcfg-ath0.

Edit the file and add the line:

IPV6INIT=no
