Unfortunately this is not clear at all.

The web page at the link above says: "We'd like to turn this on as the
default for all of our users.". Combined with the remaining text on
the web page, the only conclusions I can draw is that

- Mozilla would like to turn on DoH by default, invisible to the user
(the user gets this configuration without making a choice).
- When DoH is turned on, by default Cloudflare will be used as the DoH
provider.

If these conclusions are correct they are precisely why some of us
find the Mozilla/Firefox stance completely unacceptable.

If these are *not* the conclusions we should draw about Firefox and
Mozilla's plans, you badly need to update the web page on the link
above. You could also at the same time clarify whether Firefox will
use DoH resolvers that are on the same IP addresses as other non-DoH
content.
