> The correct way would be to standardise DoH and DoT and add support into it into automatic address configurations and operating systems. This is beside the point. Mozilla make a browser. They don't make the address resolution code for the underlying operating system. Operating system vendors are of course going to start to support DNS-over-https. You can disable dns-over-https if you don't want it enabled. Just go to about:config and set network.trr.mode. to 5

Just because something can be disabled does not necessarily mean it should be enabled by default in the first place.

  That's a really strange comparison. You know that mozilla has an agreement with cloudflare under which cloudflare has agreed not to log dns queries right?

    Maybe Mozilla has such an agreement, but I don't. I have a contract with my ISP, and thr GDPR applies to that contract. CF? Not so much.

      1)Since the agreement is about processing of this data it really doesn't matter whether you have a contract with CF 2)You don't need any contractual relationship to have GDPR apply to processing your data. If you're a European data subject then GDPR applies to any processing of your personally-identifiable data whoever is processing it and wherever they're doing it. If you're not a European data subject then GDPR would only apply if the company was a European company or if the processing was happening in Europe.

Thanks. I feel this should just be a setting on the settings screen. I use a PiHole DNS service at home which I want to keep using over this.
- seanhunter 7y ago
  It is. I just never use the settings screen. See here for how you toggle it, including screenshots. I would expect that the new version will be similar. https://www.zdnet.com/article/how-to-enable-dns-over-https-doh-in-firefox/ https://www.zdnet.com/article/how-to-enable-dns-over-https-d... Edit: I've just checked and there is the ability in the settings screen to set a custom DoH provider. So once your pihole can do it you can set it there.

  It should be a setting in a standard dot file. I don't understand why Mozilla can't create a simple configuration file like most applications.
  - seanhunter 7y ago
    All these settings are stored in ~/.mozilla/firefox/<profile name> So for me the trr mode is stored in /home/sean/.mozilla/firefox/k3dmofx7.default/prefs.js
    - techntoke 7y ago
      I've tried changing prefs from that file and it is a mess. Not adequately documented either. Standard INI-format would be ideal.
