My Google Pixel just asked me to choose a default browser and search engine; I assume that this is part of some antitrust settlement or something.
I chose Firefox as my default browser a long time ago, but that wasn't one of the choices I was offered -- it was Chrome or a number of Chromium-based browsers I don't have installed, like Samsung's or Brave.
So I had to set Chrome as my default, then go back to the Settings app and reselect Firefox as my default.
