Should I Disable DNS Over Https in Firefox If Using Cloudflares DNS Servers In Ethernet Adapter?

I am using Ethernet for my network connection for my HP Desktop and in my Ethernet Adapter I have my IPv4 set to use Cloudflare's DNS servers 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 and in my IPv6 I am also using Cloudflare's DNS servers 2606:4700:4700::1111 and 2606:4700:4700::1001 . My Network Profile is set to Private and I have file and printer sharing disabled. My question is that should I disable DNS over HTTPS in my Firefox(default)browser Connection Settings? I may be wrong but to me it feels a little redundant using Cloudflare DNS Servers in my Ethernet adapter and using Cloudflare in my Firefox Connection Setting as well. I would greatly appreciate any insight and suggestions and also should I have "Use system proxy settings" checked.

Respectfully

So what are you trying to do here? WebServer or Hosting computer?

Thank you for responding. It is just as stated in my question. I am asking whether I need to keep my "Enable DNS over HTTPS" checked in my Firefox connection settings (I am using Cloudflare) on my desktop computer. I am using Cloudflare's DNS Servers in both IPv4 and IPv6 in my Ethernet Adapter under "Use the following DNS server addresses".

I used to have both plus DNS selections in my computer network manager. (I have changed to a different Internet Service Provider and don't dare touch its router settings.) It caused no problem of which I was ever aware.

Thank you very much for your reply. I do not see where it would be a problem to keep both. My ISP is Spectrum so there is no way I could access their router settings.

Cheers
