Firefox fails to resolve AAAA only hostnames when using dnscrypt #1898

In Firefox, when a domain has only an IPv6 address and is resolved in browser with dnscrypt, it fails to load its page, and only reloading the page one or more times the page loads.

I tested in Chromium and this doesn't happens with it.

An example is when accessing http://v6.testmyipv6.com/ which has only AAAA IPs:

# host v6.testmyipv6.com
v6.testmyipv6.com has IPv6 address 2620:12e:1000::a00:f

I recorded a Screencast showing the problem:

Can this behavior in Firefox be solved by fixing something in dnscrypt?
