Does FF send DNS requests via the proxy? Depending on the personal threat model and the ISP, that might matter.

FF defaults to DNS-over-HTTPS now, so I would imagine it does, although I can't find solid confirmation.

There are checkboxes to control this in the Firefox proxy settings. "Proxy DNS when using SOCKS v5" and "Enable DNS over HTTPS".

In the proxy options, there's a box to tick for sending DNS through the proxy or not.
