DoH Rollout

This is a WebExtension + Experimental API to gradually roll out DNS-over-HTTP to Firefox users.

How to install WebExtension

  1. Install web-ext npm install -g web-ext
  2. Install the dependencies npm install
  3. Build the addon npm run build

How to run WebExtension

  1. web-ext run --verbose -f Nightly

OR

  1. Run a non-release build (Nightly or Aurora) version 61+.
  2. Set extensions.legacy.enabled to true in about:config
  3. Navigate to about:debugging, choose "Load Temporary Add-on" and select a file from this project:
    • Select manifest.json
    • Select src/web-ext-artifacts/dns_over_https-${VERSION}.zip

You should see a new entry in the list of extensions titled "DoH Rollout".

To see the banner create a new boolean pref doh-rollout.enabled in about:config and set to true.

This will run heuristics against your network settings to determine if DoH can safely be enabled. If it can, it will trigger a doorhanger notification announcing that is has been enabled.

To check if DoH is turned on, check the value of pref network.trr.mode. If it is enabled, it will be set to 2.

Telemetry will be sent each time heuristics are evaluated.
