I'm using firefox on Win-7 I have host file entries that I do not want to alter. Can't even alter the name of host file temporarily. But then I don't want firefox to refer to the host file at all. I need it to go to the DNS directly.

Is there a way to make firefox skip the hostfile check & go to DNS or at the least lookup another equivalent file instead of hosts file

Please advise

Firefox simply passes the DNS request to the DNS Client service (Windows).

It is the DNS client that checks for an entry in the hosts file when it receives a DNS request, not Firefox.

Ok .. Good piece of info ...... I think I cannot tweak DNS client service, but any suggestion as to how do I get Firefox requests to not ever peep in to the hosts file ??
