(Get the code!)
The two patches I've just attached solves this problem for most users:
The first makes getaddrinfo() ignore link-local addresses when called with the AI_ADDRCONFIG flag set. This makes getaddrinfo() avoid querying for AAAAs when the host has no IPv6 connectivity, provided that the AI_ADDRCONFIG flag is set. This brings glibc's getaddrinfo() behaviour in line with Mac OS X and Windows.
The second makes Mozilla Firefox use AI_ADDRCONFIG when calling getaddrinfo(). Note that the Mozilla release drivers have already approved this patch for inclusion on the 3.6.x branch, and it has already been commited to Firefox 4.0 (it's included in beta11).
Please apply.
(Of course, there might be applications other than Mozilla Firefox that does not set AI_ADDRCONFIG as well, which would require similar patches. However, Mozilla Firefox is the obvious one and likely the source of most user complaints.)
