fe80::1 on link-local is/should almost always be configured as your gateway route. Works very well in corporate setups, too.

Interestingly Firefox does not seem to accept that as a valid address. It will force a a search for 'fe80::1' or even 'http://fe80::1'. Is it just me?

http://[fe80::1]

That doesn't work either. Does it work for you?

Depending on OS, you might need to actually put the interface name in there? As you can have fe80::1 on multiple interfaces...it being link-local. Maybe browsers are holding it back?
