Does Firefox VPN not work with DNS over HTTPS set to Max Protection, and when using a custom provider?

With the VPN on and DNS over HTTPS set to Max Protection set to custom provider, no pages will load and I get an error screen/can't connect to proxy screen.

Chrome resolves local DNS just fine.

Firefox fails: Unable to connect Firefox can’t connect to the server a

I have DNS over https disabled already and have troubleshooted various other settings.

Firefox ran all right, i.e. accessed anywhere in the world. But after I specified Express VPN to apply VPN to Firefox, Firefox stopped finding sites as if it lost name resolving ability. When I did a similar thing for Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge, such things did not happen.

I guess I'm hoping an engineer or someone who works on firefox can resolve this cause it's always what pushes what me away.

I'll be sick of Chrome harvesting all my data, I'll download firefox, and I'll set it up. A couple years ago I deleted my chrome profile and switched completely over to firefox. I want to say once a month, I'll open firefox and websites won't load. If they preload they'll act like they're offline.

It's happened to me on Windows machines and Mac machines.

If someone wants to seriously drill down and figure out why this happens across platforms and DECADES, I am happy to provide logs and video chat or something.

How can I upgrade to windows 11 or is it to late? Can't connect to internet. Everything else is house is fine. Says Firefox disconnected. I can't sign in on laptop, says windows 10 support expired 10/2025?

Firefox can’t connect to the server at dhakaeducationboard.gov.bd What can you do about it?

Try connecting on a different device. Check your modem or router. Disconnect and reconnect to Wi-Fi.

I am using 140 ESR version on linux with Cloudflare's DNS over HTTPS and with DOH active for some reason resolving a domain like d3oklwo3y1bx83.cloudfront.net will resolve to local host IP 127.0.0.1.

I am using firefox about:networking#dnslookuptool to test resolution of the domain d3oklwo3y1bx83.cloudfront.net Both with DOH on and off the resolution remains local host. I tried another browser on the same workstation and I was able to receive a resolution of 13.225.193.203 13.225.193.133 13.225.193.64 13.225.193.58 Why is firefox ESR not able to resolve that domain? What are causes ?

Is is firefox dnslookuptool results.

I keep getting this message at the top of each site I go to: "You must log in to this network before you can access the Internet" It thinks I'm on a captive portal?? I'm at home on my own internet network. Why am I getting this message?
