Configuring DNS-over-HTTPS with Firefox Options

about:config
network.trr.boostrapAddress=142.202.107.1
network.trr.custom_uri={DOH PREFIX}.dns.securd.com/dns-query
network.trr.mode=3
network.trr.uri={DOH PREFIX}.dns.securd.com/dns-query
network.trr.mode (https://wiki.mozilla.org/Trusted_Recursive_Resolver)

You should not change the mode manually, instead use the UI in the Network Settings section of about:preferences

• 0 - Off (default). use standard native resolving only (don't use TRR at all)
• 1 - Reserved (used to be Race mode)
• 2 - First. Use TRR first, and only if the name resolve fails use the native resolver as a fallback.
• 3 - Only. Only use TRR, never use the native resolver.
• Up to FF >= 73, this mode also requires the bootstrapAddress pref to be set.
• Starting with Firefox 74, setting the bootstrap address is no longer mandatory - the browser will simply bootstrap itself using regular DNS, unless the DoH server domain can't be resolved.

• The native resolver will still be used for portal detection and telemetry (Bug 1593873)
• 4 - Reserved (used to be Shadow mode)
• 5 - Off by choice. This is the same as 0 but marks it as done by choice and not done by default.
