I know that there's this (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/977330?esab=a&as=aaq) but it takes way too long for the actual website to load before I get to the little Android icon. Is there a way to make it so that it prompts me in the first place before loading the page?

Isisombulu esikhethiweyo

The Android Gingerbread and earlier browser did this if you did not set a default browser and it sucked. The intent dialog would appear for each clicked link and often several times due to redirects.

If a site or intent gives Firefox a URI that it can load as a web page we treat it as such. Firefox is a web browser.
