      I have fixed IP & My Service provider granted me a IPv6 which is correctly configured.
      The IPv6 is correctly configured & I can ping the outside world
      PING6(56=40+8+8 bytes) 2a02:2788:feff:6a::8 –> 2001:4860:4860::8888
      16 bytes from 2001:4860:4860::8888, icmp_seq=0 hlim=59 time=18.113 ms
      16 bytes from 2001:4860:4860::8888, icmp_seq=1 hlim=59 time=17.897 ms

      --- 2001:4860:4860::8888 ping6 statistics ---
      2 packets transmitted, 2 packets received, 0.0% packet loss
      round-trip min/avg/max/std-dev = 17.897/18.005/18.113/0.108 ms

      LAN interface has received the following informations based on ISP proposed :
      Prefix delegation Mask : 2a02:2788:feff:1300::/64
      LANinterface has therefore been assigned the following IP : 2a02:2788:feff:1300::1

      I thought it was time to have my UBUNTU configured in IPv6.
      First going on the pfSense
      Services –> DHCPv6 Server & RA --> LAN -->DHCPv6 Server

      I completed all the informations the best I could as indicate in the attached image but I always received the following :
      The following input errors were detected:

      Prefix Delegation From address is not a valid IPv6 Netmask for 2a02:2788:feff:1300::/64
          Prefix Delegation To address is not a valid IPv6 Netmask for 2a02:2788:feff:1300::/64

      I do not understand what I am doing wrong ???

        Why are you trying to use a DHCP server?  It's normally not needed with IPv6.  Using SLAAC, an IPv6 address is automagically created from the prefix and NIC MAC address or a random number.  You may have one, the other or both.  The random number address will change periodically and you'll have a few deprecated addresses.

        PfSense running on Qotom mini PC
        i5 CPU, 4 GB memory, 32 GB SSD & 4 Intel Gb Ethernet ports.
        UniFi AC-Lite access point

        I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...

            Don't do Prefix Delegation Range in your DHCP-config, if you just want a DHCP-server for your LAN (Ubuntu-client).
            You probably do not want to delegate a block to the next router ? Anyway a /64 is not correct.

            But you do not need an active DHCP-server as indicated. Maybe disable the DHCP-server ?

            Then to start with IPv6, first try "Track Interface" on the LAN IPv6 configuration page.
            This will hand-out a suitable subnet value in a /64 format, with and from your ISP prefix assignment to your LAN.
            Now you can expect  RA, a route, the SLAAC method to let the LAN & Ubuntu-box make an IP.

            Next from here you could activate and  experiment with DHCP6-Server and RA configs.

              OK
              I think I understand what I did wrong in the DHCP v6 configuration but if I try to do as you suggest, I have the following now :
              WAN interface in  IP v6 is set to 2a02:2788:feff:006a::8
              Gtw for the WAN is 2a02:2788:feff:006a::1 when this is set, I can ping the opendns/google ipv6 hosts (actually I did a traceroute6 to google DNS)!

              Now I go to the LAN configuration and choose IPv6 configuration type : Track Interface
              I need then to fill the "Track IPv6 interface" but the Drop down box is not filled.

              \T,
