This is an Ubuntu bug, plain and simple. My DNS resolver didn't suddenly grow issues because I updated my OS. This is completely unacceptable for an operating system that touts itself as being "Linux for Humanbeings", where is the user-friendliness in breaking Internet connectivity for a lot of people? By all means, change it but give a fair warning; "If you are not using a very modern router do not upgrade as we don't care about you" and provide a one-click button after install and fixes the issue, rather than having people chasing their tails, disabling IPv6 etc. etc. Especially since most of those "fixes" are voodoo magic posted by clueless idiots -- fixing Firefox and no other application is not a fix.
