The "firewall" features are called connection tracking and, a firewall. With IPv6 I have my firewall setup very similar to NAT. Established and outgoing new connections are allowed (this is done using connection tracking). Incoming new connections are not allowed unless I open up a specific port.

Home firewalls SHOULD be setup the same for IPv6, a lot are not and IMO is the main problem right now.
