I thought I responded to this, but my comment isn't here. Must've forgotten to hit send.

In the past, my Android phone would allow me to add or remove URLs that the YouTube app opened, but it seems I can't edit that anymore. However, here's an alternative:

1.) Go to Apps > Default Apps > Opening Links

2.) Scroll down to the YouTube app and click on it (remember, I can't remove it because I have a Pixel (Google) phone).

3.) Switch the Open by Default option from "in the app" to "in your browser." Done!

4.) If you haven't already, go back to the Default Apps category and set your browser app to Firefox. Now all YouTube links will open in Firefox.
