DNS-over-HTTPS on Firefox (Android)

[Fuchsia]

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.

For those saying that you can do this Android-wide:

1) Windows version of Firefox supports this feature despite one being able to do it Windows-wide

2) There are instances where using custom DNS for the whole system isn't helpful, like when one has low cell signal.

Please is very important and totally different from the one from android settings

• Please add this option since most sites are blocked in my country i can use DOH to bypass the restriction.

I really want this feature! 👍

A lot of people use their mobile devices to browse the net and they currently can't be secured against malicious DNS servers . There really should be also option to make it possible to fallback on default DNS if encrypted DNS doesn't work (there also should be something similar to Max Protection setting from desktop Firefox that disallows this behavior). I would like to setup secure DNS for my parents but I know that it would be a bad idea, if there isn't any way to make it fallback to default DNS (they already use the Increased Protection setting on their desktop computers).

Thanks!

Add DOH to Firefox android

Firefox Android lacks DNS-over-https feature, which is not good for privacy protection, why don't you add this feature?

@JonWhen will this feature be developed

[brixter]

+1 for this feature.

It helps users to bypass censorship in their countries.

I really hope this feature too, because Android's private dns feature is not working well, some websites are inaccessible.

While many browsers have this feature built in, why doesn't Firefox mobile? I wrote a comment on the Play Store and you pointed me here, the idea was almost proposed in 2022 2025 While many browsers have this feature built-in, why isn't it available on Firefox mobile? I wrote a comment on the Play Store and you pointed me here, the idea was proposed in 2022We will go to 2025 and this feature has not arrived yet. I do not want to use Firefox beta and nightly version because I experience performance problems, I hope this feature comes to the stable version of Firefox mobile as soon as possible.

This topic was created in 2022. Now is 2025. 3 years have passed and Firefox's development team still did not listen to user opinions. DNS-Over-HTTPS has not been added to Firefox Android's settings. @Jon Why is that?

I really want to support and use Firefox to help Firefox increase the browser market share compared to the opponent. But in my country, websites were blocked too much while Firefox's development team was very delayed in developing new features. I was forced to give up Firefox and move to another browser.

It would be a fundamental function to add in order to have an operation consistent with what already happens on desktop

Hope we get this feature soon on Android

Hi folks,

The DoH UI has landed in the Fenix codebase - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1934262

This is currently enabled for Beta 40+ and Nightly 40+ users via an experiment API, so if you're using those channels you should see the settings in the UI.

Let us know if you encounter any issues.
