Is there a way to have Firefox respond/be the default for the Google Assistant instead of Chrome?

Are there any other voiced activated assistants that can do this?

Can I use Bixby like Google Assistant, and have these things done.

I would also like all home page shortcuts to open Firefox. even those that were placed there by Chrome.

Hi

This support article should help:

It is not possible to open Chrome page shortcuts in Firefox for Android (and the other way round) at this time.

'I spoke too soon. "How to replace Google Assistant with a Firefox search" suggests the following, but I don't have those settings on my Samsung Galaxy s10e. I searched, but nothing comes up for "Assist & voice input

On Pixel XL and Android 8.1

   Open the Settings app on your phone.
   Tap Apps & Notifications.
   Tap Advanced.
   Tap Default Apps.
   Tap Assist & voice input.
   Tap Firefox.

If you search the Settings app for "default digital assistant", does this help?

Nope. Lots of results, but virtually all are either Google Assistant or Accessibility related.

If you search the Settings app for "default", you should see "default digital assistant app" as one of the results.
