IPv6 Identification for Mozilla Firefox

Ever wondered if you're on a IPv4 or IPv6 site in Firefox? I developed a simple extension which displays the IP of the current site in the statusbar and colors it red or green depending on the address type.

IPv6 Identification for Mozilla Firefox

A cool tool, nice work. but, when I open a new tab there is a annoying delay before the new tab opens. Is there anything you can do to fix this?
Using Firefox 1.0.3 (with Adblock v.5 d2 + Image Zoom 0.1.7) on WinXP SP1.
edit [050712]: latest version works like a charm!

It looks like the latest version doesn't work correctly with FireFox 1.0.4. It makes any tab (including the default) invisible, which sortof makes my browser useless :). FireFox will only work properly in safemode, or with SiteIP deinstalled.

Very useful: I use on Firefox 1.0.4 on a Debian i386 based System and it works fine.

Hi,
Is there an extension which works with Firefox 2?

Hi,
there is ShowIP (https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/590).
However, it only shows whether the site has an IPv6 address but not if Firefox actually uses IPv6 to connect to it. Better than nothing :-)
I don't know of any addon that shows if you're really connecting via IPv6.

Thank you, this works!
It's a big drawback however, even in IP4-only networks I get the green IPv6 address ;-)
Thank you anyway, as you said "better than nothing" ;)
