Thanks for this. What should I do to disable this? Set network.trr.mode in about:config to 0?

Doesn't have to be so arcane. Network Settings -> Untick "Enable DNS over HTTPS"

set network.trr.mode to 5: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Trusted_Recursive_Resolver

also if you have unbound or local dnsmasq caching you could set a canary domain (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/canary-domain-use-appli... ). To set it up with dnsmasq just add the line for the canary to /etc/dnsmasq.conf:

  address=/use-application-dns.net/

For those running a PiHole, I thought for sure that the pihole was already doing this for me. Turns out the implementations (#2915 & #2916) are still sitting in the development branch waiting for a release - they were merged to development on Sep 07, 2019.
