Not allowing the user to override it locally would be quite user-hostile! Of all the missteps Mozilla has made with Firefox (in my opinion), giving the user more control isn't one of them.

Otherwise known as "allowing a network _owner_ to determine the DNS used".

The network owner is free to allow or deny connections to IP addresses or ports and drop whatever packets they like by configuring their systems, the routers! They do not get to determine the configuration of _my_ system.
