I presume this isn't the same bug as mentioned in
the linux tips section of http://www.linux-magazine.com/issue/41
It said there was a clash between the typeaheadfind functionality
in mozilla and ipv6. Solutions were to disable typeaheadfind
in about:config or comment out the ipv6 entries in /etc/resolv.conf
I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere else so it may be bogus?

Pádraig.
