Yeah, Librewolf by default doesn't use DoT neither DoH, and so your IP is still exposed, but Librewolf had made it fairly easy to change through preferences or the librewolf overrides, whatever more convenient, as stated on its DoH enabling documentation.
That is not what I was referring to. DoH is easy to access in the settings, but with a SOCKS5 proxy you want DNS from the provider to avoid fingerprinting of your location by using a network or DoH provider, which may be a geographically closer server because of your host IP.
Under about:config, change "network.proxy.socks5_remote_dns" to true.
I don't know definitively why they were fingerprinted to there local city, this is just a theoretical reason.
