OHTTP encapsulates a complete request, so the 1-1-1 mapping isn't right. The target can be any resource, but it generally should be on the same host/origin as the gateway. The gateway sees the request and the response, so there are very few cases where you would trust it to handle requests for any URL.

Now, this has very little to do with what you might trust Firefox or Mozilla to do. OHTTP only provides a degree of anonymity. If you don't want to share the data that is carried in the message, then you might want to disable the request, not the privacy protections that OHTTP provides. Firefox will use OHTTP for different purposes, so you need to look at each in turn.
