In response to 0.0.0.0 day, Firefox Nightly version 131 had introduced a new security measure: blocking access to 0.0.0.0/::/::ffff:0.0.0.0 addresses.

Perhaps a bug then? AFAIK, “developer edition” is basically just nightly.
Pretty sure you have an addon doing that, because Firefox doesn’t.
Firefox Developer with no addons
Do you have standard Firefox with default options that does this? This has not been my experience.
You could try out with a new profile if it works out the same.
I just tried to use the Developer version. With no addons.
Could you share a link for me to read up more on this?
I was trying to use the Firefox Developer version. Just straight up refused.
