If i put say 123.123.123.123 into firefox desktop or mobile it will try to load a webpage from that host. If i put http://[ipv6] into desktop it works as well. If i do the same on mobile it sends it to my search engine as a query.

There were some pull requests to fix that, but guys at Mozilla said that those pull requests lead to performance regressions and rejected that.

The latest PR was accepted in November, so IPv6 literals work in v122 alpha.
