World IPv6 Launch
Here's a little restartless Firefox addon that tells you if the page is loaded over IPv6:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sixornot/
and one for Chrome (written by p1mrx here):

Actually, IPvFOX (
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ipvfox/
) is even better. Sixornot only shows dns lookups for the page's domain, this one shows IP address for every loaded resource in it.

If you click SixOrNot's down-arrow, it shows the same information, right?

Not really, at least according to description text of IPvFOX addon. And I remember that sixornot's verdict over a loaded page hasn't always been correct in the past - lot of sites have v6 DNS entries, but aren't really connectable, etc.

Ah... yeah, okay, I really should update that. SixOrNot used to be DNS only, but now it monitors connections too.
There's also 4or6, which has easy access to the IPv6-related preferences.
