Switch firefox to use a different DNS than what is in the windows.host file

Tags:

firefox

dns

For example, I have a development site on a different server but I'm trying to copy content over from the live site so it'd be handy to have the live site in IE and the dev site in FF.

I tried FoxyProxy but I can't seem to get it to work.

Does Firefox use different DNS?

Thus, Mozilla says Firefox will offer a choice of two trusted DNS providers, Cloudflare and NextDNS, and that Cloudflare will be used as the default.

How do I change my DNS to Google in Firefox?

Go to options->Advanced->Network->Settings->Automatic proxy configuration url and enter 8.8. 8.8 All you Mozilla traffic uses Google dns now.

I use this to override system's DNS with localserver
in about:config
change this value:

  • network.dns.forceResolve
  • network.dns.ipv4OnlyDomains
  • network.dns.localDomains

    • with IP address of local DNS server (for exsample 192.168.1.88)
    Sorry for my english
