IPV6 & Mediacom & Firefox

Like most users IPV6 has been rolled out with no issues. I am one of them. However, for some reason, my Firefox browser was unable to fully use IPV6 (such as going to a website that is IPv6 only). There is a setting in about:config for IPV6. Search for IPV6 and you will see a setting called network.dns.disableIPv6 set to false by default. Double click false to set it to true. Restart your browser. Then try going to sites like https://www.whatismyip.com - or even when you preform that search on Google on the top of the search results it will display your IPV6 address instead of your IPV4. You can still use a classic IP address finder to see what your IPV4 address is but it is on one of the many IP/OS checking websites available online. Just use your favorite. Now your Firefox browser will have the ability to access IPV6 only websites as well as hybrid v4/v6 websites. Its strange why IPv6 access is disabled by default. Anyways, there ya go folks. I hope this helps!
