I am behind a "Chinese wall" and use an HTTP proxy to tunnel and encrypt my data traffic.

Unfortunately, Firefox still sends DNS queries for the websites, that I visit and reveals more information than I want.

Is there a way to disable DNS, when I use an HTTP/S proxy ?

My current workaround is to set a firewall rule for outbound DNS traffic of Firefox. But not all users are able to configure their firewall.
