One problem I seem to be having with FF (on Win 10 anyway) is it's not checking my hosts file for a domain lookup before using dns. Overriding the hosts file makes some things easier so I tend to do it. But now, my first time trying from Win, and it's not getting my page. Chrome works, ssh from WSL works, but FF uses dns first, apparently.
It's the first development usage I've found that Chrome works better than FF.
- airstrike 6y agoWell, that just means Firefox is winning this war by, what, 79–1 rather than 80-0
- dhimes 6y agoAgree.
- mrj 6y agoYeah I had that problem too after they shipped encrypted dns. You can turn that off and it'll work normally.
- dhimes 6y agoOK thank you!
- deadbunny 6y agoAre you using (or have been subjected to) Firefox enabling DNS over http? IIRC it's auto enabled for users in the US.
- jlgaddis 6y agoIf you want to use DNS-over-HTTPS, you can add domain names to "network.trr.excluded-domains" in "about:config" (if, for example, you always use the .dev TLD for custom hostnames in your hosts file, you can simply exclude that domain name). If not, well, just disable DNS-over-HTTPS entirely. See https://wiki.mozilla.org/Trusted_Recursive_Resolver https://wiki.mozilla.org/Trusted_Recursive_Resolver for even more DoH-related settings you can tweak.
- dhimes 6y agoThank you- that's very helpful!
