The ipv6 address url is: "http://[<ipv6address>]:<port>/"

It has no problem to access the url if using bookmark or type url directly.

but if you copy and paste the url or use "paste and go" function in the url bar, it will triggers google search instead.

On windows 10 64 bit firefox it has no such issue, seems only affect ios. Is it a bug or a setting issue?
