Firefox seems to not route "Reddit.com" through secure DNS servers. Why?

Hello,

I am a bit confused and worried about what is happening here. I am routing Firefox through controlD DNS and Reddit.com is the only website that it doesnt block even though its on my blocklist. I tested it with a few other websites too and those did get blocked on Firefox but not Reddit. I did some testing and it seems every other browser works perfectly fine. Is this intended for Firefox to route Reddit through their own DNS servers instead of the private one I have setup? This is a bit concerning to me.

Let me know if this is intended or why this isnt working only on Reddit.
