How to disable IPv6 in 10.04 Grub2

[Snowhog]

To disable IPv6 system-wide

1. Open a terminal and type the following command (if you don't use Gedit, replace it with your text editor such as Kate, etc).
sudo gedit /etc/default/grub (IF you use Kate or another graphical editor, launch it with kdesudo instead)

2. And search for this:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX

Modify it so it looks like this:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="ipv6.disable=1"

3. Save and close the file

4. Update GRUB:
sudo update-grub

Firefox:

You can just disable IPv6 in Firefox. Type about:config and search for:

network.dns.disableIPv6
and toggle it to TRUE.

You would not use the Grub method.
