Google search results and new tabs

Using my mobile device (Samsung s23 ultra) as of just a few days ago every time I click a Google search result instead of opening a new tab in Firefox it instead opens a temporary tab that I have to click and tell to "open in Firefox". It only does it with one of my Google accounts. Meaning that if I switch Google accounts and do a search and click a result Firefox opens a new tab. Which is my preference. I switch back to the other Google account and it goes back to a temp tab. I've uninstalled Firefox and it didn't change. I at first thought it was a Google thing but when I use other browsers like the default Samsung browser it doesn't do it. Attached is an image of the "temp tab" as I call it. Anyone know where option to have search results open as a tab?
