firefox mobile cant access ipv6 sites directly
If i put say 123.123.123.123 into firefox desktop or mobile it will try to load a webpage from that host. If i put http://[ipv6] into desktop it works as well. If i do the same on mobile it sends it to my search engine as a query.

Obvious question but is your phone on an IP v6 network?
-
What does that have to do with anything?
It's only once you visit a website that it matters whether you're on an IPv6 network. OP isn't visiting the website at all; they're just typing the address and being taken to their search engine
-
Because if OP was trying to access an IP v6 address from an IPv4 network that wouldn't work. It wasn't obvious to me where the issue lies.
-
I think your misunderstanding comes from the fact that "wouldn't work" can mean a lot of things, and you didn't know quite what it meant
If
- you're not on an IPv6 network,
- you enter the IPv6 address of a website into the address bar and
- the browser attempts to load that website (not a search engine),
then the connection will time out:
OP never got to step 3, which indicates a problem with the browser

Yep, another comment said its a bug that will be fixed in v122
