Nice catch! I suspect it would be the same if we kept this commit's
change to the OUTPUT chain (that explicitly rejects packets anyway),
and added an explicit reject rule to the INPUT chain for packets as
the loopback interface (both source and destination). Care to
try that?
(I can't, as I cannot reproduce the problem at all here.)

Yes, this should be a benign change, and I agree it makes sense.
I want to see it in at some point too. But I'd like to see the root
cause of the much increased hang time fixed as well, so that we're not
1. adding layers over layers of workarounds; 2. exposing ourselves to
other similar regressions caused by the new, stricter IPv6 firewall.
On the other hand, if you don't want to take care of the firewall side
of things, no worries, just tell me. Either I'll take care of it
myself, or I'll ask Jake to rework his stuff a bit :)

Seems like it is. Want to reproduce it with a pristine Firefox, and
then report upstream?
