Title: Firefox addon IPvFox
Post by: roseway on September 08, 2018, 10:39:18 AM

Having recently moved to IDNet and got an IPv6 connection, I've been playing with the FF addon IPvFox, which is a port of the Chrome addon IPvFoo. This addon puts an icon at the end of the address bar, and when you click on it you get a table of the URLs accessed by elements of the page being viewed. There are two examples below - in the first, the main web page is being viewed in IPv4 but there are elements in IPv6, and in the second, the main page is being viewed in IPv6. Of course this only works if you have an IPv6 connection.

I'm not sure what actual use this is, but it gives some insight into how IPv6 is currently being used.

Try https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/sixindicator/ (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/sixindicator/) which also shows you where elements have come from the cache!

Thanks, I'll have a look at it. But I use Pale Moon primarily, and sixindicator isn't compatible with it.
