Hi
I need to block some sites through the OS Hosts file, Other browsers ( Edge, Chrome, .. ) are honoring the HOSTS file rules but Firefox bypassing them !! , I disabled the DNSOverHTTPS and all other available suggestion and options but still not honoring the hosts file !
as you can see in the attached file, the Firefox DNS Section is now blank ! but still doesn't follow the OS host file
I even made a custom policy file but still doesn't work, these are the things I disabled but still not working :
{
"policies": {
"DNSOverHTTPS": {
"Enabled": false,
"Locked": true
},
"Preferences": {
"network.trr.mode": {
"Value": 5,

"Status": "locked"
},

"Status": "locked"
},
