Thx! And seems that `use-application-dns.net` works for me. But I will still consider replacing Firefox, because this behavior, which is inconsistent with the settings, is unacceptable to me. However, I'm glad I learned a new thing, thx again :)


No problem. I've never see Firefox exhibit this behavior. Out of curiosity have you started in safe mode disabling all the addons and does it still do this?


Hi, I just tried safe mode, and still the same :)


Interesting. If network.trr.mode is set to 5 this should not be occurring. If there is no plan to use FF again then I suppose submitting a bug would be a waste of time. Perhaps others will run into whatever condition is causing this behavior or perhaps it would happen on mine and my blackhole routes are breaking it.


Yep, that `network.trr.mode` is `5`, just confirmed. I'm considering Zen now.


Can you confirm the full technical method you were using to see DoH traffic? i.e. Destination IP/port/protocol

Suggested capture methods:

    tcpdump -p --dont-verify-checksums -i any -NNnntt -B32768 -c2000 -s0 proto 6 and 'tcp[13] == 2' and not host ${Your_Router_IP} &

    tcpdump -p --dont-verify-checksums -i any -NNnntt -B32768 -c4000 -s0 proto 17 and not host ${Your_Router_IP} and 'length <256' &
Don't paste the output, just suggestions for capturing HTTPS SYN and QUIC over UDP.


For what it's worth they have added a lot more outbound crap. Even using user.js [1] there is still a lot of leaky outbound noise. Loads of connections to fastly, cloudfront and others. It has gotten worse with time. I would probably also consider using a different browser but I can not give up the addons I use in Firefox. I will just blackhole route those CDN's and see what breaks.
