Idk seems like it. My ISP is censoring some websites and I can only visit them by using the DNS from cloudfare or Google. On Firefox this does not work, on Opera gx it does.

When some thing doesn't behave the way you expect it to, trying to understand it's behavior will take you a lot further than just saying it doesn't work.

Bro there are only 3 options for dns in Firefox:

No dns, use Firefox dns and custom dns.

Neither Firefox dns nor custom dns work as intended.

I am not going to reverse engineer the whole browser, if I can just use a working one.

I just checked, there is no simple DNS settings in firefox...

I have no idea what you were doing, maybe you tried to set up a Proxy?

There is DNS over HTTPS setting under Privacy & Security, where you can set up Cloudflare, NextDNS or Custom DNS. This works for me, but if you set this to "Max Protection", a lot of sites will not work, which is not firefox's fault.

You really should set the primary DNS in your router's settings, but if that's not possible (sometimes it's not an option), then the second best is to set it in your device's network settings.
