Update:
It seems Firefox contacts <myhostname>.<hostnameofmyrouter> and that hangs.
Why does FF do that? Can I disable it?
For now, I put this into /etc/hosts:
0.0.0.0 <myhostname>.<hostnameofmyrouter>
Now Firefox and Thunderbird start fast again.
- fulafel 4y agoyou have a "search" domain configured in resolver so it tries subdomains of that in addition to the bare domain, but that domain is not responding to your queries.
- JonathanBeuys 4y agoWhen you say "it tries" - who tries? Firefox? How can I tell it to not do that?
- fulafel 4y agoFirefox and other programs that respect your resolver configuration. Remove the unresponsive search domain from your resolver configuration file, or if you control the domain, troubleshoot its DNS server so it answers the queries. They may be comiNg in differently from FF due to FF/Mozilla DoH DNS implementation.
