I think the main problem was that Necko (networking in Gecko) didn't have
good, if any, detection of network changes until recently. There has been
work on this in the last year but I don't know the current state of it and
it may vary by platform. There is discussion on mozilla.dev.tech.network
today about network change detection and IPv6 so I think it's something
still on the radar.

CC'ing mozilla.dev.tech.network to see what the Necko team has to say about
whether we can support this in Firefox yet.
