But theoretically if I had TikTok, Facebook or insta, I would still be able to use it on the wifi.
That is all. Just thought it was interesting

They might be able to apply settings to your installed version of Fire Fox, but I have no idea how detailed those settings are or if they would include disabling DNS over HTTPS.
They could block DNS over HTTPS by blocking common servers that provide it, making it difficult to implement but putting them in an infinite whack-a-mole game, or with deep packet inspection, I think, but I’m fuzzy on the details for the latter, so I can’t say much.
By default Firefox and other browsers that implement DNS over HTTPS check a canary domain and if they can’t reach it they assume they’re in an enterprise and act respectfully and fall back to the suggested DNS server pushed by their gateway. That canary domain is obviously part of all encrypted DNS blocklists. On desktop you can choose to try and override but lists of the common DOH providers are readily available for free. I block them myself on my network because I run my own DNS resolver with ad blocking and don’t want anything bypassing it to phone home its analytics.
