I found this page that says they removed that feature on mobile for some reason (ugh,) but if you scroll down there's a possible workaround that may work for your purposes. You could swap out the Firefox shortcut on their home screen with an 'open Google(.)com in Firefox' shortcut.
I really hope that there is a logical reason for Mozilla's stupid choices. Because I can't think of one.
That's what I will do.
I believe, they basically re-implemented Android Firefox when that feature fell under the bus. Their previous architecture was incredibly laggy on Android, so that's why they pretty much had to start over...
Yup, I remember the first Firefox for Android. Rough times. Nice black interface, but clunky. The new one is butter and by far the best browser for Android
