For those that use pihole for DNS level filtering, there was a pull request merged 2 days ago to return an NXDOMAIN for this request.

I'm  pretty sure  that  if Firefox  is  trying DoH  and  it fails  for
whatever reason, it will fall back  to normal DNS. On Slashdot several
folk talked about blocking the cloudfare dns servers' IP addresses.
Yes, according  to their wiki,  it will  blacklist domains that  fail to
resolve via DoH for a period of time and use normal DNS resolver.

Currently they are getting a lot of flack over this move to enable DoH
by default, so we'll  have to see if they bow  to pressure and reverse
this.
I've already changed network.trr.mode to 5 on all of my Firefox profiles
that I can at the moment.

There's one  question I have... in  the network.trr.confirmationNS there
is example.com---I wonder if I need to block this as well:

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Trusted_Recursive_Resolver

Of course, these are the current defaults  and I wonder if I don't alter
the defaults  if Mozilla  will assume  that it's  alright to  modify the
default and thus undo any blocking I might have made.
