1893970 - Do not let native_https_query ride the trains to release.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Networking: DNS, task, P1)

Description

[Valentin Gosu [:valentin] (he/him)]

Considering that there are some issues with with the native HTTPS records we have discovered in beta, it might be better to keep network.dns.native_https_query off in release until we resolve the remaining bugs.

[Tracking Requested - why for this release]:
Bug 1890999 let this feature ride the trains, but after going to beta we got reports of some performance issues (and bypassing /etc/hosts).
We think delaying this feature to Firefox 127 is safer than attempting to fix this in beta.
