DNS setting issue (lemmy.world)

After the recent update (130.0-1) my settings in the “DNS over HTTPS” settings are no longer saving and are reset to “Increased protection” with the Mozilla DNS server every time I close the browser.

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

What was your setting that is getting overwritten? What I can see from librewolf settings are:

  • network.dns.disablePrefetch
  • network.dns.skipTRR-when-parental-control-enabled
  • doh-rollout.provider-list
  • network.trr.mode
  • network.trr.uri

I usually have “DNS over HTTPS” in Librewolf disabled as another program is already “managing” secure DNS for my entire device. However, this isn’t saved once I close the browser and the setting is reset to use Mozilla’s DNS server.

OK, there's a codeberg comment someone else shared, and based on that there's another of such comments from another issue, which sort of indicates an attempt to get back / reset current behavior, but I'm not sure if that one worked or not given the comments from the one who posted it...

Yes, it seems a mess, :(
