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