Hang on a sec ? localhost should be [::1], not [::], which is the
equivalent of 0.0.0.0.  My guess is a software bug.  Jails look a little
weird from the inside unless you use a fully virtualized network stack.
The proxy probably doesn't have sufficient error checking around
getpeername() or something like that.

Another intermediate URL-checker reports that the plugin in question
(CanvasBlocker) is requesting https://[::]/ directly.  If a bug this is
the first I've seen of it's kind.  If not the question is what threat
profile [::]:443 might expose.  (Other than the obvious jail vector
which really should be fixed.  FreeBSD Foundation where are you?)

Karl's reference to RFC 4291 indicates it is a protocol violation as
well.

The symptom has been reported to Mozilla.
