Firefox addon to switch IPv4/IPv6 per website?

Hi all,
Unfortunately, there are some websites that do have a AAAA-record but still won't load when using IPv6. Of course this is a mistake of the webmaster and I often try to contact them if I find such a site, but it would be very nice if you could force IPv4 anyway for a specific site. Does anyone know if such an addon exists for Firefox?

The firefox-internal networking code does not expose such a setting.
The 'easiest' that one can achieve is to 'null-route' the IP address of the destination website, that way your browser will quicker fall back to IPv4.

How does one do that? Is it just a static route in my router/firewall?

if you use a linux based device, the command
ip -6 r a unreachable 2001:db8::/64
would define the prefix 2001:db8::/64 as unreachable.
The effect is that the application fails to connect to 2001:db8::/64 near immediatly and falls back to ipv4 very fast.
You can type this on the router, but it also works on the pc.
Of corse only typing does not save the setting across reboots

Type, about:config in your address line.
Add the domains you want to use ipv4 with in network.dns.ipv4OnlyDomains
