Firefox bypassed my firewall to update?

I have a whole mountain of Mozilla/Firefox URLs blocked in Pihole. Unfortunately, that is apparently necessary to protect my privacy and not have to install forced updates every day or two with a mandatory restart of my browser included.

To my great surprise, I see that the last 2 updates just came through. The first one I can understand becuase I had Pihole open for test_purposes. But that is closed and this morning I got another one. Has the update_procedure changed? Are the IPs hardcoded or is DOH being used to get past my firewall?

If so, I need the ip addresses because I don't have the time to go put a Wireshark on it. Unfortunately then Mozilla will also show up in pfSense also. Or I choose a completely different option to say goodbye to Firefox after al those decades. Because I'm totally done with having to invest a lot of work because my browser can't behave.

Please help because I can't find it within an hour search.

Oh, and by the way, I hate this update. The speaker icon is in the way in a full tab-bar. As usual no improvement.
