IPv4 DNS issues

Hi,
I have a IPv6 tunnel terminating on a Cisco router with a statick publick IPv4 addres
My config (as done folowing the website's instructios)
interface Tunnel10
description IPv6 uplink to SixXS
no ip address
ipv6 address xxxx:xxx:xxx:xx::2/64
ipv6 enable
ipv6 mtu 1280
tunnel source xx.xx.xx.xx #my static IPv4
tunnel destination 213.219.173.138
tunnel mode ipv6ip
interface FastEthernet0/0
description LAN
ip address 192.168.13.254 255.255.255.0
no ip redirects
no ip unreachables
no ip proxy-arp
ip nat inside
ip virtual-reassembly
ip route-cache flow
speed 100
full-duplex
ipv6 address xxxx:xxx:xxx:xxxx::/64 #subnet range
ipv6 enable
ipv6 nd ra-interval 60
ipv6 nd ra-lifetime 180
ipv6 nd prefix xxxx:xxx:xxx:xxxx::/64 #subnet range
no mop enabled
whene I enable IPv6 on the nic of my client pc (Ubuntu 11.10) I do get an IP address and can do PING6 and traceroute6's
ALso surfing to IPv6 websites or duals stacked ones is no problem.
However, when I try to visit a website (Firefox 11) that is only IPv4 I can not reatch it, unless I add .sixxs.org to the url...
Is this normal? I thought the brouser was supposed to try IPv6 first and then downgrade to IPv4 whene IPv6 is not avaialble...
I can figure out to add the sixxs.org when thinks do not work, but:
-my wife and kids are not that technical so a more "simple sollutio" should be nice
-https site (netbanking) do not recognise the .sexxs.org and won't load becouse sertifacat is not correct...

Showing the configuration you enter, while a good step, it might no match the applied configuration. Also, it is quite likely that you config is quite a bit larger than just that.
But this issue sounds like it is lies on the host, likely even as far as that your complete IPv4 is broken, as such you might want to show the running configuration of the affected hosts.
-https site (netbanking) do not recognise the .sexxs.org and won't load becouse sertifacat is not correct...
The IPv6gate only does plain HTTP, not HTTPs.

Ok, I'll try to investigate more what happens to the IPv4 on the host whene IPv6 is enabled.
Starnge thing is that pinging is no problem, so it seems a DNS issue to me...
I did try quick on a Win7 host and that seemed to work correct, but hav'nt looked enough into it to make sure what works and what not...
Thanks for confirming and putting me in the right direction...

Just to let you know I resolved the issue
I forgot to have the Linux hosts tolisten to RA (my accept-ra value was 0...
/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/[your_interface]/forwarding = 0
/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/[your_interface]/accept_ra = 1
For Windows 7 al worked out of the box, while linux* had the value to be changed
* both on Ubuntu 11.10 and Debian6
