Idea: Add DNS-over-HTTPS support for the Android version of Firefox

Reasoning: Google Chrome for Android already supports this, as does the Windows, MacOS, and GNU/Linux version of Firefox. This can be used to make the mobile browsing experience more private/secure.

👋 Hello, this FF fork added the option to choose
DNS over HTTPS :

From the look and feel it is very good 👍.

Firefox 114 on desktop makes this visible in the setting. But it's still missing in the Android version.

一个直观的图形界面用来配置它是很有必要的,桌面端的Firefox完善了这一部分,在移动端使之易于配置也是很有必要的。

It is necessary to have an intuitive graphical interface for configuring it, and Firefox on the desktop has improved this part, making it easy to configure on the mobile end is also necessary.

Please! Chrome supports this but firefox doesn't. I'd much prefer to use firefox with this feature

about:config page is only available for Firefox Android Beta and Firefox Android Nightly.

Hence, about:config method cannot be used on regular Firefox Android app.

Please include this secure dns feature officially in the Settings UI.

I urgently support this idea and want it be implemented in Firefox mobile. Chrome and other chrome based ones (Brave, Edge) have already implemented DoH, why mobile firefox not??

 It should be nice but it's useless if firefox doesn't support doh in your country like me in the netherlands.

There still are no DNS settings for firefox mobile. Very much needed considering Android's design philosophy.

This needs to be added quicker, I don't know why this is still in "new idea". Please firefox devs take note on this!

Android already supports DNS over TLS and HTTPS. Just set the server you'd like in Android settings, and Firefox will use that server.

Android already supports DNS over TLS and HTTPS. Set your preferred server in Android’s settings, and Firefox will use that server. 1.1.1.1/help tells me I am using DoH.

@ben75where then?

Android Settings app, Connections, More Connection Settings, Private DNS. It may vary based on your Android version and phone manufacturer. Currently, Android supports DoH only for dns.google and cloudflare-dns.com. All other servers will use DoT only.
