From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What's going on with Firefox? (lemmy.ml)

Second try, shorter and less confusing than before:

DNSoverHttps interfering with my DNS block
shown to be enabled in about:policies
set to disabled in policies.json as well as in about:settings.

The picture shows a console window witch the respective policies.json key being set to false (disabled), while the about:policies firefox page in the background shows DoT to be enabled.

Version is 140.1.0esr on Artix (Arch). Anyone can confirm?

Edit: It's not a broken profile; same happens in a fresh one.

Policy is the internal way of saying "this is enabled by default to be allowed by the user". There are user settings to control this, so go through your preferences settings and check.

Argh, looks like the explanation text didn't get cross posted. Thanks anyway.

Looks like your reading the system default settings from /etc and not the user settings from ~/.config

I don't really know what this means, what should be considered wrong in this?

Maybe that it reads "enabled: false", which means disabled, but it just reads enabled on the right. That suggests it is working while in reality it isn't.

The graphical interface shows enabled, but the config file (the really important one) says disabled.

Skill issue with cross-posting. It has explanation text now.

Looks right to me. Does Firefox require a reboot on Linux to recognise newly added keys? (It does on Windows with the registry)
