I suspect the behaviour you noticed is related to FF functionality like

Have a look here if you want to disable it:

enforce_'Trusted_Recursive_Resolver'
Thanks. That led me to network.trr.allow-rfc1918, which provided your
name has a dot in it ! appears to resolve addresses from /etc/hosts. I
guess that actually means firefox uses your local resolver first, and if
it returns an rfc1918 address, will use it.
Surely that should be the default! It shouldn't break a PRIVATE network
in the name of security !!!
It is the default here, in www-client/firefox-110.0.1 .
I'm running amd not ~amd, and I've got FF 102esr. As soon as I changed
it to allow rfc1918, it started working ...
