Just for anyone looking how to do this, you should have your default web browser set to Firefox (settings -> apps -> default apps) then swipe up from the home screen, search for the "Google" app, tap your profile picture in the top right, and go to settings -> general -> uncheck "Open web pages in the app."

I started with this, but I have trained myself to use the search bar at the bottom of the home page as the beginning so often. That automatically opens Chrome regardless, unless you switch launcher.

I use the search bar on the home screen with the above settings, and it opens search results in firefox.
