DNS setting issue (lemmy.world)

submitted 2 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

7 comments fedilink hide all child comments

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?

Ouch, that's a nasty bug imho. Thanks to this wiki entry I've looked up the file librewolf.cfg in /var/lib/flatpak/ and changed :

pref("network.trr.mode", 2);

into

pref("network.trr.mode", 5);

and that seems to fix it for now (till a newer LibreWolf maybe overrides that file).

If you want to turn off DoH right now, see https://codeberg.org/librewolf/issues/issues/2029#issuecomment-2281388

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, :(
