While I'm sure it's true that Firefox's implementation does this (presumably it provides a setting in the UI whereas it didn't before), there was nothing preventing this with regular DNS. It isn't something that DNS-over-HTTPS makes possible.
Specifying your own DNS server instead of using the system default is a feature that the nslookup command has offered for like 25 or 30 years, so I'm sure a web browser could offer it too.
