Firewalld, IPv6, no forwarding happening

I'm totally baffled by how to get firewalld to forward IPv6 packets.
On my home network, every machine has a public IPv6 address (from
radvd). My ISP has IPv6. In between is a Fedora machine running
firewalld, but packets simply do not transition from one network
interface to the other.
If I ping ipv6.google.com from inside, I can see the packets as far as
the internal interface on the firewall, but they simply disappear. No
ICMP rejected messages or anything like that. If I ping an internal
machine from outside, I can see the packets at the external interface
of the firewall, but again they disappear into the aether.
I don't even know where to start looking. Any idea what to look for?
Rich.
