I wonder why this wasn't mentioned in the changelog. Seems substantial

[–] shortwavesurfer@lemmy.zip 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Probably because most people are not accessing routers and web servers through their IPv6 addresses and instead they are using IPv4s like 192.168.1.1. I mean, come on, who does that?

Yeah, typing an IPv6 address on my desktop I'd annoying enough, and way worse on my phone.

It should still be supported, just not called out specifically.

That patch was my only contribution to Firefox, and I didn't research how to update the user-facing changelog. When 122 hits my phone I'll ping the bugs, to notify the 20 nerds who actually care about the problem. Typing IPv4/IPv6 literals is a pretty niche feature on the modern web.

Currently https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox says "Version 121.1.0, Updated on Jan 19, 2024"
