DoH is vital to protect users around the world from censorship and worse.

Like I've asked before, should Mozilla also start including an obfuscating VPN by default, to bypass the Chinese firewall?

This is a political issue, and one that I don't think Mozilla should even get involved in because it could have very ugly consequences --- just focus on making a good browser and leave the politics (and VPN/firewall-busters) to others.

Mozilla is working to add a tor mode or add on.

I dont think they are in a position to be trustworthy enough to offer that. Not after the fiasco with their expired addon certificate sabotaging Tor. I still dont see how the standard practice in Firefox to just silently disable addons is anything but malice.
